UNICEF denounces the largest number of deaths for children in one day in the last year in Gaza
The wave of bombings with which Israel broke on Tuesday La Tugua in Gaza has cost over 400 people, including 130 children. According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), it is the greatest number of deaths of children in a single day in the last year in Gaza. In addition, he denounces that the children of the strip have already endured more than 15 months of war, that Israel blocks the entry of humanitarian aid and the claims to turn to the fire.
“The information and images coming from the strip after the attacks this morning go beyond the horror.
Therefore, he criticized that “some of the attacks have reached provisional refuges in which children and families have slept”, which is “another deadly reminder that no place is safe in Gaza”. “Today, the millions of children from Gaza, who have endured more than 15 months of war, immersed themselves in a world of fear and death.
Russell recalled that these attacks occurred at a time when the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza continuously blocked after more than half a month has passed since the last truck with the help crossed the enclave “, which worsens risks for children”. Add to this that Israel has reduced the electricity supply that served the main desalinization system, causing the reduction of the amount of drinking water.
The Unicef executive director urged all parties to “immediately” the high fire and asked the countries “with an influence to use it to ensure that the situation did not deteriorate even more”. “All parties must respect international humanitarian law, allowing the immediate benefit of humanitarian aid, the protection of civilians and the liberation of all hostages,” he concluded.
