The missing children of Gaza

LiSTNR
About this episode

The war in the Middle East continues to impact hundreds of thousands of innocent people, with Save The Children now estimating more than 21,000 children are missing in the wake of the conflict. 

Many are trapped beneath rubble, detained, buried in unmarked graves, or lost from their families. 

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by Save The Children’s Head of Humanitarian Policy and Advocacy, Alexandra Saieh, to find out what needs to happen to protect children in Gaza, and why the world is seemingly oblivious to the worsening crisis. 

Headlines:

Children's hospital in Ukraine bombed

Three-day curfew underway in Alice Springs

Joe Biden challenges other Democratic candidates to step up

Alex De Minaur makes Wimbledon quarterfinals
