Israeli forces have entered the outskirts of Gaza City. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected growing calls for a cease-fire.
, the United Nations agency for children, said the Gaza Strip “has become a graveyard for thousands of children,” adding that “it’s a living hell for everyone else.” The agency reiterated its calls for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” so that aid can come into Gaza and abducted children can be released. “Like many others, we have pleaded for the killing of children to stop,” it said.
said the “threats to children go beyond bombs and mortars,” as there is a “water crisis” affecting children in Gaza. Death by dehydration is a growing threat for children in Gaza, particularly infants, the agency said. One worker in Gaza said that her 4-year-old and 7-year-old are repeatedly asking for water, according to the agency, but that none is available. Saltwater “is the only option right now,” the statement said. The Gaza Health Ministry says that 3,542 children have been killed in Gaza since the war with Israel began, among 8,525 total deaths. Gaza’s population is extraordinarily young —
estimates that children make up roughly half of the population.
