Since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip 2,360 children died and another 5,364 were injured ongoing attacks by the Israeli army on the Palestinian enclave, indicating that More than 400 children die every day. This is stated in a statement by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

“He murder and mutilation of childrenkidnapping of minors, attacks on hospitals and schools, as well as denial of access to humanitarian assistance constitute serious violations of children’s rights”said UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Adele Khodr.

In the note, Khodr noted that almost all children in the Gaza Strip were subjected to “deeply disturbing events and traumas“, marked by “widespread destruction, ongoing attacks, population displacement and severe shortages of basic necessities such as food, water and medicine.”

For this reason, UNICEF has made an urgent appeal to all parties “agree to a ceasefire, “Allow humanitarian access and release all hostages.”

The UN agency noted that “even war has rulesand reiterated that “civilians – especially children – must be protected and everything possible must be done to ensure that they are not harmed under any circumstances.”

“The situation in the Gaza Strip It is a growing stain on our collective conscience.. The rate of death and injury among children is staggering,” Khodr said.

However, he found it “even more frightening” that “The number of daily deaths will continue to rise” unless tensions ease and “humanitarian aid, including food, water, medicine and fuel, is allowed to arrive.”

In fact, the UN Palestine Refugee Agency (UNRWA) yesterday warned that will cease its activities in the Gaza Strip tonight, Wednesday, if you don’t get fuel first, an irreplaceable resource whose entry is prohibited currently in the Palestinian enclave.
