The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) stressed the need to end violence against children in the Gaza Strip, noting that there is no “safe place” for them in Gaza.
This came in a UNICEF post on X about the Israeli bombing of displacement tents in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
Earlier Monday, four Palestinians were killed and about 40 others were injured in an Israeli bombardment that targeted displacement tents in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
“Today, our screens were once again filled with horrifying reports of children killed, burned, and families emerging from bombed tents in Gaza. These should shock the world to its core,” the organization said.
“Attacks on shelters in Deir al-Balah and at al-Aqsa hospital, which reportedly killed 15 children, prove again that there is no safe place in Gaza,” said UNICEF, adding: “This shameful violence against children must end now.”
These statements reflect the extent of the humanitarian catastrophe witnessed by the Gaza Strip, which requires a real international community.
Since October 7, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands dead and wounded, and tremendous humanitarian conditions.
