United Nations, May 21 (RHC)-- Children’s educator and YouTube star Ms Rachel has issued an emotional plea to world leaders, urging them to act on the UN’s warning that thousands of babies could die in Gaza within the next 48 hours if Israel’s blockade continues.

“You can’t be about to let 14,000 children starve,” she said in a post on Instagram.  “Whatever is keeping you from standing up for these kids, who don’t have food and medical care and who have had amputations without anaesthesia, whatever is keeping you from saying it, it’s not greater than your humanity,” she said.

Ms Rachel, whose educational videos have had more than 10 billion views on YouTube, has continued to be outspoken on children in Gaza, despite facing backlash for her views.  Her real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso.
