yes it is heart breaking. It is even worst if we realise that this little 10 years old girl already existed almost 75 years ago and was already saying "it is not fair". Some day in 1990 I met a young 14 years old palestinian boy in the camp near Tripoli. He told me "I know I am too much on this earth. The world would be happier if I did not exist". How does one reply to such words? This brief encounter remains the worst memory of my thirty years with UNICEF. I felt outraged, angry and above all HELPLESS. This little girl in Gaza today cries for help saying "what do you expect me to do" and we reply "there is nothing we can do for you" and at best we cry with her. Is this all we can do to "give a chance to children"?
