Unicef executive director has warned that over 1.1 million children are threatened by intensifying conflict, malnutrition and disease in the Gaza Strip.
“Children in Gaza are caught in a nightmare that worsens with every passing day,” Anadolu Agency quotes Catherine Russell as saying in a statement.
Children and families in Gaza continue to be killed and injured in the fighting, and their lives are increasingly at risk from preventable diseases and lack of food and water, she said, adding all children and civilians must be protected from violence, and have access to basic services and supplies.
