More than 1.1 million children in Gaza are at risk

Clashes, malnutrition and the health situation in Gaza have created a “cycle of death that threatens more than 1.1 million children” in the impoverished territory even before the war began, according to UNICEF. “The children of Gaza are caught in a nightmare that is getting worse every day,” said Catherine Russell, UNICEF Director-General. “Children and families in the Gaza Strip continue to be killed and injured in the fighting, and their lives are increasingly threatened by preventable diseases and food and water shortages,” she said in a press release.
