"Threats go beyond the bombs and mortars”, UNICEF’s James Elder stressed. Infant deaths due to dehydration are “a growing threat” in the enclave as Gaza’s water production is at five per cent of the required volume due to non-functioning desalination plants which are either damaged or lack fuel.

When the fighting finally stops, the costs to children “will be borne out for decades to come”, he said, due to the horrific trauma faced by survivors.

The media will literally wring their hands until this genocide is over, because as we’re all finding out, no one is willing to stand up to the US or China just to save some poor Palestinians or Uyghurs from being ‘displaced’ (from life).

When the fighting finally stops, the costs to children “will be borne out for decades to come”, he said, due to the horrific trauma faced by survivors.

Mr. Elder cited the example of a UNICEF staffer’s four-year-old daughter in Gaza who has started self-harming because of the daily stress and fear, while her mother told colleagues, “I do not have the luxury to think about my children’s mental health – I just need to keep them alive”

Kill a kid’s whole family, take awah their livelihood, lock them in an open air prison, shoot at them when they try to peacefully walk out of the cage you built, and what do you think they’re going to do next?

Its almost like Israel wants to create terrorist organizations…

That’s a lot of words to say you support genocide.

This is an article about dead children, it’s rather shocking to see such bloodthirst in the comments.

Like I said last time I saw them copy and post this same rant on an article about children, they are basically functioning as a troll.

Dude, no matter how you feel about the actions of Hamas and other violent groups, empathy for the children impacted by war and violence is a sign of basic humanity. Telling children to cry you a river is just sick.

Let’s post more links direct from the UN please.

This is a far more reputable source than a for-profit media corporation.
