As a politician, I should apologise because what is happening is a complete political failure. War, conflicts and power struggles happen, but this is an absolute political failure. The witnesses can take my apologies for that. Many psychological services will be needed as part of the rebuilding of Gaza. People will have disabilities as a result of amputations and all of that. Is there a role for aid agencies in that regard?
