UNICEF deputy director Ted Chaiban highlighted the extreme suffering of children in Gaza following his visit. He reported over 18,000 children killed since the war began, averaging 28 daily. These children are facing deep hunger, trauma, and losing their loved ones amidst bombings and an inhumane blockade. The UN has identified two famine indicators in the region, warning of grave famine risks. Chaiban calls for a sustained ceasefire and a political resolution to alleviate the humanitarian crisis affecting the population in Gaza.
"The marks of deep suffering and hunger were visible on the faces of families and children. Over 18,000 children have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war."
"Children have lost loved ones, they are hungry and scared, and they are traumatized."
"Mr. Chaiban demanded a sustained ceasefire and a political way forward. He also detailed how the United Nations has now identified two indicators showing that Gaza has exceeded the famine threshold."
