UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said on Sunday that in addition to the children killed in Gaza, many others are missing .

He added that: " Thousands more are injured or we cannot even determine where they are. They may be stuck in the rubble."

The UNICEF official said: " We have not seen such a level of death among children in almost any other war in the world ."

Russell has also said that malnourished children in maternity wards in Gaza "don't even have the strength to cry ."

He further complained about the "huge bureaucratic challenges" in getting aid trucks into the besieged Palestinian territory, where hunger and severe malnutrition are widespread.

Children of Gaza killed in the war

The tyrannical Israeli regime launched a brutal US-backed war against the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, carried out its historic operation against the brutal regime in retaliation for the regime's increasing atrocities. against the Palestinian people .

Until now, the brutal Israeli regime has killed at least 31,645 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured 73,676 others .

In a clear war crime, the brutal Israeli regime is now deliberately starving the people of Gaza by destroying food and imposing strict restrictions on the entry of food, medicine and other humanitarian supplies into the area.
