UNICEF: 17,000 children in Gaza separated from their families due to indescribable war of extermination

GAZA, Nov. 20 (YPA) – The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) revealed, on Wednesday, that about 17,000 Palestinian children in Gaza have been separated from their families due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip for the 13th consecutive month.

UNICEF indicated in its statement, which coincides with the International Children’s Day on November 20, that what is happening to children in the Gaza Strip as a result of the bloody Israeli massacres is beyond description.

She reported that there are 2,500 children in the Gaza Strip who need to travel abroad to receive treatment, stressing that children are paying the highest price in the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, noting that 64 schools and shelters were bombed during last October.

The occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the martyrdom of 43,985 citizens, the majority of whom are women and children, and the injury of 104,092 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.
