Gaza ’ceasefire’ is a ’deadly illusion’: UNICEF
UNICEF says 265 children have been killed since the ceasefire began, as aid restrictions and destroyed services keep Gaza’s humanitarian crisis unresolved.
- On Friday, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder described the Gaza ceasefire as a "deadly illusion," reporting that 265 children have been killed since the fighting was supposed to have stopped.
- Elder noted that children were killed in homes and schools, not war zones, with Israeli forces responsible for the "vast, vast majority — 90 per cent plus" of such fatalities.
- More than 400 children have been injured since the ceasefire began, many with "catastrophic wounds," while trauma affects children's ability to eat, sleep, and develop normally.
- UN emergency relief chief Tom Fletcher reported to the Security Council on Thursday that Israeli denial rates for aid missions into Gaza dropped from 31 per cent to 11 per cent.
- Nearly 1.9 million people are currently displaced in Gaza, with 1.1 million children facing daily uncertainty regarding access to clean water, according to United Nations assessments.
