UNICEF: More than 13 thousand children were killed in Gaza.
According to Sputnik, “Catherine Russell”, the executive director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), announced that the scale and speed of the destruction in the Gaza Strip is “shocking” and as a result of the attacks of the Zionist regime, 13,000 Palestinian children have been martyred so far.
By publishing a message on the X social network (former Twitter) without directly referring to the Zionist regime, he wrote: The war in Gaza has caused the death of more than 13 thousand children and injured countless people. This war has caused the death of teachers, doctors, aid workers and human rights activists.
Yesterday, Saturday, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder spoke about the fear and hunger of 600,000 Palestinian children in Rafah, located in the south of the Gaza Strip. Elder emphasized that, in addition, the danger of an attack by the Zionist regime threatens these Palestinian children and they are trying to survive under the fire of the Zionist regime.
The spokesperson of UNICEF clarified: Children and families displaced by Israeli attacks were told to go to Rafah to be safe, but despite this, brutal attacks were carried out against them.
Elder said: Rafah is a city of children. 600,000 boys and girls are present there, but the danger of military attack threatens them. They are surrounded in Rafah and have no safe place to go.
The spokesperson of the United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF added: Despite fear and hunger, fathers and mothers are trying to give hope to their children, although the word “hope” is about to be removed from the vocabulary of Gaza.
Also, Elder asked everyone who feels the pain and fear of fathers and mothers towards their children and everyone who believes in children to put an end to this pain and suffering in Rafah.
