UNICEF: Over 50,000 children martyred in Israeli war on Gaza
Geneva - Saba: The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) stated that the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 50,000 Palestinian children since October 7, 2023. "In just 72 hours last week, images from two horrific Israeli attacks in Gaza provided further evidence of the devastating cost of this brutal war on children," said Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, in a statement published by the UN agency on its website on Wednesday. He added, "On Friday, we saw videos of the burned and dismembered bodies of children from the al-Najjar family being pulled from the rubble of their home in Khan Younis," in the southern Gaza Strip. The UN official continued, "Of 10 siblings under the age of 12, only one child was reported to have survived with serious injuries." He explained, "Early Monday morning, we saw images of a little girl trapped in a burning school in Gaza City. This attack, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, reportedly killed at least 31 people, including 18 children." UNICEF said, "Since the ceasefire ended on March 18, 1,309 children have been killed and 3,738 others injured. In total, more than 50,000 children have been killed or injured since October 2023." The UNICEF Regional Director asked, "How many more girls and boys must be killed? What level of horror must be broadcast live before the international community fully intervenes, uses its influence, and takes bold and decisive action to force an end to this merciless killing of children?" "These children are lives that should never be reduced to numbers. They are now part of a long and horrific list of unimaginable horrors: grave violations against children, the blockade of aid, starvation, ongoing forced displacement, and the destruction of hospitals, water systems, schools, and homes. In short, the destruction of life itself in the Gaza Strip," he added. UNICEF urged "all parties to the conflict to end the violence, protect civilians, including children, respect international humanitarian law and human rights law, allow immediate access to humanitarian aid, and release all hostages."

UNICEF: 470,000 children in Gaza already in famine circle
Gaza - Saba: UNICEF has confirmed that 470,000 children in the Gaza Strip have been at risk of famine since last March. The organization stated in press statements on Tuesday that the announced plans to bring in humanitarian aid are a waste of time aimed at neutralizing the United Nations, according to the Sanad News Agency. UNICEF pointed out that there is no alternative but to increase pressure to ensure greater and unhindered access to aid into the Gaza Strip. The Fund explained that 50 percent of the population of the Gaza Strip are children and need psychological support, while 470,000 of them have become famine-stricken since Israel closed the Strip's crossings on March 2. The Israeli enemy continues its policy of "systematic starvation" by closing the crossings and preventing the flow of aid, amid the international community's inability to halt the accelerating humanitarian collapse inside Gaza. Monday evening the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip confirmed that humanitarian needs are increasing significantly, noting that the Strip requires approximately 500 aid trucks and 50 fuel trucks daily. It explained that this means that approximately 44,000 trucks will be required to enter during the 80 days of the ongoing blockade, while the permitted amount of food does not exceed 0.02% of this amount, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
