UNICEF has reported that the humanitarian zones designated by Israel in Gaza have become “places of death” for the children who remain in the region. In an alarming report, the organization warns of the extreme conditions faced by tens of thousands of minors, who are forced to make “brutal” decisions due to the violence in the area. Children remaining in the north are considered suspicious by the Israeli army, and the idea that the south represents a safe refuge is described as a “farce.”
James Elder, spokesperson for UNICEF, provided a heartbreaking account from the Strip, describing poignant scenes of barefoot children trying to help their grandparents among the rubble, as well as minors suffering from severe injuries and illnesses. During his visit to Nasser Hospital, Elder witnessed cases of children who have been left paralyzed or have suffered severe burns due to the bombings nearby.
Additionally, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) have criticized Israel’s blockade on their access to a hospital that holds essential equipment, such as incubators and ventilators. The conditions in the health facilities that are still operating are devastating, with mothers and newborns in critical situations. Elder documented the case of three premature babies sharing a single oxygen supply, with limited access restricted to only 20 minutes.
In light of this bleak situation, the international community is once again calling for urgent action to protect the most vulnerable in Gaza, where the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.
