The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned on Monday that "Gazan children and their families live next to garbage dumps and suffer from diseases and unpleasant odors."

The UNICEF office for the Middle East and North Africa region added, in a post on its account on the “X” platform: “Tons of solid waste are accumulating throughout the Gaza Strip.”

He stressed that "Gaza's children and their families live next to garbage dumps and suffer from diseases and unpleasant odors."

The UN organization continued by saying: “No child should go through these conditions, and therefore the children of Gaza need an immediate ceasefire.”

In a previous publication, UNICEF said, “Children in the Al-Mawasi area in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, live in tents filled with insects, high temperatures, and constant fear.”
