The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) has raised alarm over the rising number of child deaths in Gaza after Oct 7.

“Gaza has become a graveyard of children,” Unicef spokesperson James Elder told a UN press briefing in Geneva.

According to Anadolu Agency, Elder reiterated Unicef’s call for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian access in the enclave. He added that children in Gaza are dying not only due to airstrikes but also because of a lack of medical care.
