The United Nations said, "One million children in the Gaza Strip are living in hell on earth, as about 40 children were martyred there every day, during the past year."

"More than a year after the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, children continue to suffer indescribable daily harm," UNICEF spokesman James Elder said in a press statement.

"Gaza is the true embodiment of hell on earth for the one million children there. The situation is getting worse day by day. Estimates indicate that the death toll among children in Gaza has exceeded 14,100, which means that between 35 and 40 girls and boys are killed every day in Gaza," he added.

According to Elder, the figures provided, which estimated the total number of martyrs at more than 42,400, are reliable, and there are many, many more under the rubble.

He said those who survived daily airstrikes and military operations often faced horrific conditions.

Children were repeatedly displaced by violence and repeated eviction orders even as “deprivation gripped the entire Gaza Strip.”

"Where do the children and their families go? They are not safe in schools and shelters. They are not safe in hospitals. And they are certainly not safe in overcrowded camps," he asked.
