Rafah - Catherine Russell - ground incursion in Rafah would pose catastrophic risks to the 600,000 children currently taking shelter in Rafah
There is nowhere safe to go in Gaza.
More than 14,000 children have already reportedly been killed.
UNICEF is warning that a military besiegement and ground incursion in Rafah would pose catastrophic risks to the 600,000 children currently taking shelter in Rafah.
“Hundreds of thousands of children who are now cramped into Rafah are injured, sick, malnourished, traumatized, or living with disabilities. Many have been displaced multiple times, and have lost homes, parents and loved ones. They need to be protected along with the remaining services that they rely on, including medical facilities and shelter.” - Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director.
Children need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
