Russia on Thursday reprimanded the head of the UN children’s agency UNICEF for not providing a “weighty argument for her refusal” to brief the Security Council on children in Gaza - a meeting requested by Russia.
Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell, an American, had briefed the 15-member council on children in Ukraine “at the drop of a hat” in December, during the US presidency of the council.
“So it would appear that for UNICEF children in Gaza are less important than children in Ukraine,” Nebenzia said.[REUTERS]
