"UNICEF" launches an urgent appeal: We are racing against time to save the children of Gaza from famine, and 64,000 children have become martyrs.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) issued a shocking assessment of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip today, Sunday, confirming that one million children have suffered from "daily horrors" in "the most dangerous place in the world."

The Regional Director of UNICEF for the Middle East and North Africa, Edward Peigbider, revealed the expansion of the response to combat famine, calling for the immediate opening of all crossings, amid catastrophic statistics regarding child casualties.

In a series of urgent statements, UNICEF painted a grim picture of the reality faced by children in the Gaza Strip, noting that the recent ceasefire provided a "vital opportunity" for their survival, but emphasized that current aid remains insufficient to address the scale of destruction.

UNICEF revealed devastating statistics on the impact of the conflict on children, asserting that "words and numbers alone cannot convey the magnitude of the impact" that will last for generations.

It pointed out that more than 64,000 children have been killed or injured, over 58,000 children have lost one of their parents, and one million children in Gaza have suffered from the daily horrors of survival.

The organization blamed "Israeli military operations" in the Gaza Strip, confirming that they have resulted in "widespread destruction."

The Regional Director of UNICEF confirmed that the organization is "expanding its response in Gaza and racing against time to save children's lives from threats," primarily the risk of famine.

UNICEF linked humanitarian response to the necessity of "opening" the crossings, and while the organization acknowledged a "increase in the amount of aid," it stressed that it "remains insufficient."

It issued a direct appeal: "We call on the Israeli authorities to immediately open all crossings leading to the Gaza Strip," to ensure the unobstructed flow of lifesaving aid.

The organization announced that it has successfully "returned more than 100,000 children to education during the war," confirming that it "aims to return 650,000 children to schools" as part of a long-term recovery plan.
