‘Child deaths we feared’ in Gaza are here: UNICEF.
UNICEF has issued a severe warning, stating that unless help is directly provided, many more children in Gaza may perish from malnourishment and dehydration. Adele Khodr, regional director of UNICEF for the Middle East and North Africa, stated in a statement that "the child deaths we feared are here and are likely to rapidly increase unless the war ends and obstacles to humanitarian relief are immediately resolved." The pained cries of those newborns slowly perishing under the glare of the world are much worse than the sensation of helplessness and despair experienced by parents and medical professionals upon realizing that life-saving relief is only a few kilometers away but is being kept out of reach. The immediate adoption of drastic measures is necessary to save the lives of thousands more infants and kids. At least fifteen children have passed away at Gaza City's Kamal Adwan Hospital in the last several days, and the health ministry of the enclave has expressed concern for the six youngsters who are still there.
