The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports a devastating toll of over 14,500 children killed in Gaza, amidst a total death count exceeding 45,000. Humanitarian agencies plead for a ceasefire to deliver aid and care for victims, as recent airstrikes, including one targeting a UN school shelter, have sparked international condemnation.
The head of the UN Children's Fund, UNICEF , reports that more than 14,500 young persons have reportedly been killed in Gaza , as the total death toll passes 45,000 according to Gaza authorities. Humanitarian agencies continue to appeal for a ceasefire to care for the victims and distribute desperately needed aid. UNRWA reported that overnight, on December 16, 13 people died and 48 were injured during an air strike that came with no warning. A number of children were among the victims.
Humanitarian agencies have condemned the latest deadly airstrikes across the war-torn Gaza Strip, including on a UN school-turned-shelter. The UN reports that some of the victims had been forcibly displaced seven or eight times, ending up in this UNRWA school that was bombed, adding that the situation 'just feels very hopeless.' The latest violence came as UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell stated more than 14,500 youngsters have been reportedly killed in Gaza with many thousands more believed to be buried under the rubble. She also sounded the alarm on famine that 'continues to loom in the north' while humanitarian access remains 'severely restricted.' The grim developments came as authorities in Gaza reported that more than 45,000 people have been killed in the enclave in the last 14 months. Catherine Russell stated on social media that 'virtually all 1.1 million children in Gaza are in urgent need of protection and mental health support,' as Israeli military strikes over the past 24 hours left at least 69 Palestinians dead, from Beit Lahia in the north to Rafah in the south.The Head of Emergency Communications for the World Food Programme (WFP), Jonathan Dumont, told UN News in an interview that'civilians are desperate for lifesaving aid and there’s a growing risk of widespread famine
