The Executive Director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Catherine Russell, said that the world continues to ignore it while the children of Gaza are subjected daily to bloodshed, hunger, disease and cold, as Israel’s war of genocide continues.

She added in a statement, Saturday, on developments in the Gaza Strip, that the attack on the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, Thursday, raised the number of children killed in Gaza during the last month to more than 160, an average of 4 children per day since the beginning of last November.

Russell explained that children in Gaza “are not responsible for the situation, they do not have the power to change it, but they are paying the highest price with their lives and future.”

More than 14,500 children have been killed in the past 14 months, and 1.1 million children need urgent protection and psychological support.

Children face shortages of food, clean water, medicines and winter clothes, she said, with the spread of preventable diseases, such as rashes and respiratory infections.

“The world cannot remain indifferent while so many children suffer daily from blood, hunger, disease and cold.”
