UNICEF: Gaza's Children Living Under Constant Israeli Terror
News - Middle East: The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has said that children in the besieged Gaza Strip live in "constant terror due to Israeli bombardment."
UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said the situation for children and families in Gaza is getting "worse and worse" by the day.
"The situation in Gaza is worsening for children day by day, with the intense heat and families crammed into tents on the sand," Elder said.
He emphasized that "with ongoing restrictions on aid entry, more than 250 days into the war on Gaza, Gazans are facing extreme difficulties in obtaining food for their children."
Elder also stated that almost 3,000 malnourished children are at risk of dying before their families' eyes in Gaza.
"There are 3,000 children we were providing with emergency food aid, and now we do not know their whereabouts," he added.
Separately, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says more than 50,000 children in the Gaza Strip require immediate medical treatment for acute malnutrition.
The agency said in a recent statement that “with continued restrictions to humanitarian access, people in Gaza continue to face desperate levels of hunger.”
