From @unicef A welcome ceasefire.
Fifteen children were killed and 150 reportedly injured in the Gaza strip, as
well as 14 children reportedly injured in Israel. When violence rages, it is
children who pay the price. Beyond these figures, there are young lives. Many
of them were cut short.
The impact of such escalations is huge, and continues even after a ceasefire
is in place, affecting children’s ability to realize their rights and
continuing to expose children and families to risks.
For many children, this was the fifth conflict they have lived through in the
past 15 years. Many children are already living with the long-term
psychological impact of continued exposure to violence.
Due to the lack of fuel, electricity supply in the Gaza Strip has been
reduced to only four hours per day, affecting essential, life-saving
services. This includes water supply from wells and desalination plants,
raising concerns over the availability of safe and clean water. We welcome
this morning’s shipment of fuel and call for more of these crucial
humanitarian deliveries to the Gaza Strip.
UNICEF is on the ground delivering, with partners, emergency health supplies,
enough to reach more than 50,000 affected people. We are providing mental
health and psychosocial support and working to refer children and families to
available protection services where required. UNICEF is working with partners
for all children to go back to school safely at the end of August.
UNICEF once again calls on all parties to reach a long-term political and
peaceful solution to the decades-long conflict, for the sake of all children
and their future.
Full statement from Adele Khodr, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East
and North Africa.
