UNICEF: Gaza is becoming a place “where childhood cannot survive”

GAZA, Sept. 05 (YPA) –  The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), has warned that Gaza City, the last refuge for families in the northern Gaza Strip, is becoming a place “where childhood cannot survive.”

Speaking to reporters in New York, UNICEF Communications Manager for the Middle East and North Africa Tess Ingram said that Gaza’s most vulnerable residents are struggling to survive due to the collapse of essential services.

“The unthinkable is not looming; it is already here,” Ingram said, warning: “The escalation is underway.”

She said children are suffering from hunger and displacement, with bombing putting their every move in danger.
