Gaza: The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued a stark statement highlighting the grave situation faced by children in Gaza. The agency revealed that Israel has been responsible for the deaths of children while they were asleep, underscoring the lack of safety for the one million children residing in the region.
According to Jordan News Agency, UNRWA emphasized the psychological distress endured by the young population, stating that they have provided psychological support to over half a million children. These children have experienced severe trauma and have been witnesses to incidents that no child should have to see.
UNRWA further reported that children in Gaza have been killed not only while asleep but also while seeking refuge in schools, queuing for water, or trying to receive medical assistance. The agency's statement paints a dire picture of the conditions for children in Gaza, calling attention to the urgent need for their protection and safety.
