Gaza Strip – a cemetery for thousands of children: UNICEF

He UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) condemned that Gaza Strip is “hell for everyone”, but, in particular, “it has become cemetery for thousands of boys and girls”after information that since the beginning of Israeli bombing in this territory, about 3,500 minors have already died.

UNICEF again “begged” through its representative: James Elder“put an end to the killings,” which also implies the need for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire.”

James Elder, UNICEF Representative.

The numbers are already “scary” and growing “significantly” every day.

Elder noted that for children, threats “go beyond bombs and mortars” as they suffer from things like water shortages.

As an example, the press secretary cited the case of the children of a colleague from Nesma’s agency., and told.

The death of boys and girls – especially infants – due to dehydration is a growing threat.

Their two children, aged four and seven, ask for “regular water” rather than salt water, which “is the only option at the moment.”

Nesma answered from Gaza.

It breaks my heart when I see children around me trying to get a glass of clean water and not finding it.

Moreover, a conflict like the current one “will be felt for generations” and will cause lifelong trauma. “Before this last nightmare,” Elder noted, there had already been more 800 thousand childrenthree quarters of the child population of Gaza, those in need of psychosocial and mental support.

Nesma’s daughter self-harms and pulls out her hair, but now feels she doesn’t have the “luxury” of thinking about her children’s mental health.

I repeat to myself: “Nesma, save their lives.” And when all this is over, I will provide them with psychological support and medical assistance.”
