UNICEF: Gaza's children trapped in a 'hell on earth' as death toll rises

The United Nations has raised urgent alarms regarding the catastrophic conditions faced by children in Gaza, with UNICEF labeling the region as "hell on Earth" for its one million young inhabitants. 


James Elder, a spokesperson for UNICEF, reported that an estimated 14,100 children have lost their lives since the onset of airstrikes on October 7, with daily casualties ranging from 35 to 40.


The humanitarian crisis is worsening, with children and families exposed to danger even in schools, hospitals, and shelters. Elder shared the heartbreaking story of a seven-year-old girl named Qamar, who suffered a leg amputation due to inadequate medical care while trapped in a besieged hospital. Her family has since been displaced, now living in a makeshift tent under unsanitary conditions.


The situation in Gaza continues to spiral into desperation, with ongoing displacement and deprivation severely impacting its most vulnerable residents. UNICEF warns that the region has effectively become a graveyard for children, as the death toll and suffering escalate daily. The international community is being urged to take immediate action, as the level of horror deepens for those ensnared in this conflict.
