UNICEF’s shocking account of the children’s cemeteries in Gaza

According to the international group Tasnim News, “James Alder, the spokesperson of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in a report describing the extremely critical situation of children in the Gaza Strip, pointed out that I have never seen destruction like what I witnessed in Khan Yunis and Gaza anywhere, and if Israel wants If he implements his threats to attack Rafah, the situation will get worse.

This UNICEF spokesperson stated in an article published in the Guardian newspaper that the war in Gaza has caused many They forced children to close their eyes and there are cemeteries in Rafah that are full of children. When I visited the intensive care unit at the European hospital in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, I saw the dire condition of the children. Just a few weeks after the whole world condemned the killing of 7 members of the World Central Kitchen Organization in Gaza, a UNICEF car that was trying to deliver aid to civilians exploded.

This UN official He further warned about the consequences of the possible attack of the Zionist regime on Rafah and emphasized that the threats to attack Rafah come at a time when the Gaza Strip is witnessing a real famine and the number of dead is increasing every day. If Israel attacks Rafah, the situation will quickly reach the border of explosion and collapse because more than 1.4 million civilians have gathered in Rafah under very dire living conditions.

The spokesperson of UNICEF, referring to the severe lack of food and water resources, both for drinking and for health purposes, said that in Gaza has nowhere to go. The health situation in Rafah is very terrible and there is almost one toilet for every 850 people and only one bathroom for every 3500 people. Imagine a teenage girl or a pregnant woman or children and the elderly having to stand in line all day to use the toilet or bathroom.

James Elder warned. that the attack on Rafah will have disastrous consequences; Because Rafah is actually a city of children, where about 600,000 children live. Also, the condition of the largest remaining hospital in Gaza, which is the European Hospital, is very serious.

He continued that I visited this hospital last April and the pediatric surgeon A small child named Mahmoud was bent over, feeling pain in his head due to the explosion of a rocket that hit their house. While crying, this surgeon asked me: What has this boy done? Today, out of 36 hospitals in Gaza, only 10 are still active and they are working partially, while all children in Gaza need health care.
