UNICEF: 28 children die every day in Gaza.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) announced that 28 children in the Gaza Strip are dying every day due to bombing, hunger, malnutrition and lack of services.
UNICEF further stated that the children of Gaza need food, water, medicine, protection, and, most importantly, a ceasefire.
The Palestinian government media office in the Gaza Strip also announced that more than 17,000 children in Gaza have been martyred in 21 months and 33,000 others have been injured.
The Palestinian government media office reported that the number of child martyrs in Gaza is equivalent to the Zionists killing 28 students in a class every day.
Osama Hamdan, a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced that the number of people who have died of hunger in the Gaza Strip has reached 180, 93 of whom are children.
He added: “During the occupation’s attacks on citizens who were in line to receive aid, 1,487 people were martyred and more than 10,000 were injured.” Hamdan also announced: “22,000 aid trucks are stopped behind the crossings and Israel is deliberately preventing them from entering.”
