More than 13,000 children have died in Israel’s indiscriminate attacks on Gaza in the past five months. The United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF reported this information yesterday on Sunday.
Many children in the Gaza Strip are severely malnourished, UNICEF says. Even starving and malnourished, many of these children do not have ‘enough energy left in their bodies to cry’.
In an interview given to the CBS News Network, UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said, ‘Thousands of children have been injured in Gaza. But we do not even know where these children are.

Catherine Russell also said, “The number of children who have died in Gaza since October 7, we have not seen in any other conflict in the world.”
“I went to a children’s ward in a hospital,” said Catherine Russell, describing her experience of visiting Gaza. Children in that ward are suffering from severe anemia and malnutrition. But the whole ward was very quiet. Because sick children did not have the strength to cry.
“The number of children who have died in Gaza since October 7, we have not seen in any other conflict in the world.”

One in three children under the age of two in northern Gaza is now severely malnourished, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The Gaza Strip is on the brink of famine after more than five months of indiscriminate bombing by Israeli forces, the agency warned.
Not only indiscriminate aerial bombardment, Israeli forces are also carrying out ground operations in Gaza. Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his threat of ground operations in Rafah, Palestine, near the border with Egypt. More than 1 million displaced Palestinians have taken refuge in the city.
According to the Ministry of Health of Gaza, more than 31,000 people have died in the Israeli attack on Gaza in more than five months. Most of them are women and children.
