'More than 10,000 children have been killed, and the numbers keep going up. We do not know how many are under the rubble. This is absolutely devastating for children. Many children are hungry, and a famine is imminent,' says UNICEF spokesperson.
"More than 10,000 children have been killed, and the numbers keep going up. We do not know how many are under the rubble. This is absolutely devastating for children. Many children are hungry, and a famine is imminent," says UNICEF spokesperson."The psychological trauma" of Israel's war on Gaza "on children will be a huge task that needs to be addressed," James Elder says.
Elder emphasised the dire situation of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, which particularly deals with injured children. Pointing out that UNICEF has been able to deliver a significant amount of medical supplies to hospitals, and emphasising the need to deliver more aid to northern Gaza, the official said:"More than 20 out of Gaza's 36 hospitals are simply not functioning."
"Until a ceasefire, these children will continue to live in a war zone. Gaza is not a place for children right now, but there are more than a million children here. So, we have to get a cease-fire, and then ensure that they get all the care they need," he said. He said:"The aid is coming in, just not to the level needed. There is no doubt that UNICEF is distributing aid. World Health Organization , World Food Programme , and other agencies are on the ground. But the need is outstripping the supply.
