UK lawmaker says ‘targeting’ of children in Gaza by Israeli drones like ‘warped video game’
A lawmaker from Britain’s ruling Labour Party said evidence shown by a retired surgeon, who has been to war zones including Gaza, suggests Israeli forces targeting Palestinian children by drones was like a “warped video game”.

Ferguson told the Hall the details of her encounter with the evidence: “I thought I had seen and heard it all, the death, the disease and sheer brutality reported on our TV screens night after night. But then I went to Professor Mamode’s presentation. He spoke calmly and slowly about his experiences in Palestine, using slides and a video diary.
Ferguson said the official death toll in Gaza is 43,391 people, of which 16,500 are children, with 10,000 still missing.
Ferguson said she would like to see wounded children being brought to the UK and Europe to be treated.
Alex Ballinger, another Labour lawmaker, said a child in Gaza was being killed every 10 minutes, on average.
Foreign Office Minister, Anneliese Dodds said: “It’s very clear that Gaza is in the grip of a humanitarian catastrophe. On 12 November, the warning from the Famine Review Committee marked a terrible new milestone; famine is now imminent in areas of northern Gaza. Starvation, malnutrition and related death in these areas are rising fast, as is the risk of disease.”
“Now, northern Gaza has no fully functioning hospitals. The sick and injured must be allowed to leave Gaza to receive care.”
