UNICEF is calling for emergency medical services to be provided to the children of Gaza

The Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has said that the children of the Gaza Strip in Palestine need urgent medical attention.

Catherine Russell has said that two thousand five hundred Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip need emergency medical services and emphasized that some of these children are suffering from cancer. 

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

Speaking about the situation, the Spokesperson of the United Nations Children's Organization, UNICEF, James Elder said, before nearly 300 children were transported every month for treatment, but now that number has decreased to less than one child per day. 

The Information Department of the Palestinian Government in the Gaza Strip has announced in its report that, since the beginning of the attacks of the Zionist regime of Israel on October 7, 2023, almost 43,000 Palestinian citizens have been martyred.

According to the department's report, more than 17,000 children and almost 12,000 women of Gaza have been martyred in the ongoing genocide carried out by Israel in the Palestinian territory.
