UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram confirmed that “there are one million children in the Gaza Strip who suffer from psychological trauma.”

She added in an interview with Al Jazeera satellite channel, today, Thursday, that "the living conditions facing families in Gaza are dangerous. They need to provide drinking water, aid and blankets."

She pointed out that "10,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza so far, but we need more. We are trying to bring in clothes and food supplies for children in the Gaza Strip, and we have faced difficulty in bringing them in."

She pointed out that "if the desalination plants in Gaza are not operated, the children of the Strip will face health risks."

She noted that "the future of the Gaza Strip is decided by the residents of the Strip themselves, and they are determined to rebuild what was destroyed."

The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came into effect on January 19, and its first phase will last for 42 days, during which negotiations will begin to begin a second and then a third phase, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States.

The agreement stipulates the start of indirect negotiations on the second phase no later than the 16th day, with the agreement to be completed before the end of the fifth week of the first phase.

Since then, four exchange operations have taken place, during which the disparity between the condition of the Palestinian prisoners released from the occupation’s prisons and those released by the resistance became apparent.

Between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, the occupation forces, with American support, committed genocide in Gaza, leaving more than 159,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing, and one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
