Powerful photograph

Sir, – Your front page picture on Tuesday, April 23rd is actually the most powerful and tragic picture of the Gaza war I have seen anywhere, since this horrible war started last October 7th. Heart stopping.

The destruction is mind blowing, the scrappings of human life trying to escape out of this hellhole is something that should haunt and shame the politicians involved. What a cruel world we live in. Man’s inhumanity to man. – Yours, etc,
