United Nations organizations have said that Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip are dying in pain for lack of emergency treatment due to the authorities of the Zionist administration of Israel preventing them from going to receive treatment outside the besieged area after the Rafah crossing was closed.

According to the organizations, the number of Palestinian children who are allowed to be taken out of Gaza for treatment is decreasing every day.

He has warned that, if the situation continues, it will take more than seven years to evacuate the 2,500 children who need emergency medical care.

"As a result, children in Gaza are dying, not only from bombs and bullets and shells that hit them," said Elder while describing several cases of children with serious life-threatening injuries who have been delayed or refused to be transferred without giving any explanation.
