On Friday, Catherine Russell, executive director of the United Nations Children’s Fund, warned that Gaza is once again “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child”, following the resumption of the war.
Russell said hundreds of children will die each day if violence returns to the scale and intensity seen before the seven-day pause in fighting that ended on Friday.
“It does not have to be this way. For seven days, there was a glimmer of hope for children amidst this horrific nightmare”, Russell said in a statement.
About half of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million is below the age of 18.
As Israelis bomb, shell and strafe from north to south, nowhere in Gaza is safe!
