The United Nations Palestinian relief agency UNRWA has said in a post on X, “Attacks on health facilities across Gaza are overwhelming an already decimated system. Thousands of families are left without care.”

“With almost no medical evacuation available, Unicef reports it would take seven years to evacuate 2,500 children from Gaza who need critical care, with many already losing their lives.

“These children deserve protection, safety, and a future. They deserve a CeasefireNow.”
