UNICEF: One million children in the Gaza Strip are living in hell on earth

OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, Oct.19, (ST)- The United Nations said, “One million children in the Gaza Strip are living in hell on earth, with about 40 children killed there every day, over the past year.”

James Elder, spokesman for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), said in press statements, “More than a year after the war waged by “Israel” on the Gaza Strip, children continue to suffer indescribable daily harm.”

He added, “Gaza is the true embodiment of hell on earth for the one million children there. The situation is getting worse by the day. Estimates indicate that the death toll among children in Gaza has exceeded 14,100, which means that between 35 and 40 girls and boys are being killed every day in Gaza.”

According to Elder, the figures provided, which estimated the total number of martyrs at more than 42,400, are reliable, and there are many, many more under the rubble.”

He said that those who survived the daily airstrikes and military operations often faced horrific conditions.

Children were repeatedly displaced by violence and repeated evacuation orders even as “the whole of Gaza is gripped by deprivation.” “Where do the children and their families go? They are not safe in schools and shelters. They are not safe in hospitals. And they are certainly not safe in overcrowded camps,” he asked.
