A MILLION children are living in Gaza without the basic means of survival, Unicef’s Middle East and North Africa (Mena) regional director Edouard Beigbeder warned today as Israel’s aid blockade entered its 16th day.
Having concluded a four-day visit to the devastated Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, Mr Beigbeder said in a statement that nearly all the 2.4 million children living in Palestinian territories have been affected by the recent conflict.
“Some children live with tremendous fear or anxiety; others face the real consequences of deprivation of humanitarian assistance and protection, displacement, destruction or death,” Mr Beigbeder said.
