Gaza's children face hunger and grief instead of Eid joy, says Unicef
Eid al-Adha, a time meant for unity and celebration, has become a day of despair for children in Gaza, according to the UN children's agency. James Elder, spokesperson for Unicef, said the festive spirit has been overshadowed by tragedy. 'For Gaza's children, Eid is dominated by hunger, by grief, and by the silence of missing voices,' he said in a video message posted online. Elder condemned the dire humanitarian conditions in the besieged enclave, warning that barely any aid is making it through. 'Let us demand that aid flow freely,' he urged, noting that the current trickle falls far short of what Palestinians need to survive.
