The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) revealed figures on the harrowing impact of the war on children in the Gaza Strip, who have endured “daily horrors”.
Information released by UNICEF and reviewed by Telesur indicated that more than 58,000 children have lost one of their parents during the conflict.
“A million children have endured the daily horrors of surviving in the most dangerous place in the world for children, leaving them wounds of fear, loss and pain,” the international organization said.
UNICEF statements point out that children have suffered in an unimaginable way, while noting that more than 64,000 children have died or been injured.
These figures reaffirm what has already been denounced by thousands of activists around the world: Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into hell, where people die from curable diseases and starvation.
Faced with this reality, respect for the ceasefire on the part of both sides, Israel and the Palestinian resistance, stands as a hope so that these children can rebuild their lives and have a peaceful future.
Entire cities have been devastated and essential systems destroyed after Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Meanwhile, UNICEF's regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, Edward Beigbeder emphasized that the entity is working against the clock to save the lives of boys and girls from threats such as famine.
Beigbeder said that the start of the last ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was a long-awaited relief for families, as it offers a vital opportunity for survival and security.
UNICEF noted that the humanitarian aid that enters the Palestinian enclave daily is not enough and falls short of what was agreed for the truce.
In that regard, he reiterated his call to Israel to open all border crossings and allow a regular and organized entry of aid that could save thousands of lives.
