Has the Israeli Fund for UNICEF abandoned its site? : Ellen Tolmie

A screen grab of the homepage of the Israeli Fund for Unicef, apparently last updated on 17 October 2023.

Today I visited the Israeli Fund for Unicef web site to see how they are presenting the war in Gaza: https://www.unicef.org.il/en/en-main/. (The English language HP has the same lead photo montage as the main Hebrew HP; I cannot confirm if the text is the same.)  There is not a single mention of the Gaza war, or the now estimated (by Unicef) +14,000 deaths of children there, or the thousands more who have been wounded or starving or traumatized or otherwise suffering under constant bombardment.

Instead the Unicef Israeli HP contains a collage of photographs of children calling for the "immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli children abducted". It links to a 17 October 2023 statement calling for this: https://www.unicef.org.il/en/2023/10/17/immediate_release_of_the_children/.

According to reputable reports, there are currently NO child hostages in Gaza. Nevertheless, the Israeli Fund for Unicef site provides zero updates about the subsequent release of child hostages (mostly during the November pause in fighting) or any other information about their fate, recovery process, etc.

This is despite ED Russell's statement on 16 April of this year about her visit with some released hostages in Israel, including children: https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/statement-catherine-russell-unicef-executive-director-following-her-two-day-visit. Surely that is worth reporting by Unicef's principal affiliate organization in that country?

On 8 June, the BBC listed all released hostages, including several children: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67477240.

In ED Russell's April statement, she mentioned two children, Ariel and Kfir, believed to still be hostages. But a 1 July BBC listing of all remaining hostages -
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67053011 - states that: "Yarden Bibas, 34, was abducted from Nir Oz. His wife, Shiri, and their two young children, Ariel and Kfir, were also taken hostage, but on 29 November, Hamas claimed they had been killed in an Israeli air strike while in captivity. The Israeli government has said it is checking the claim."

It is an egregious failure for a Unicef affiliate to not report on the mass killing of Gazan children in the last 10 months that far surpasses the number killed in several other recent wars combined. Apparently even information about the status of former Israeli child hostages is not worth mentioning by the Israeli Fund for Unicef.

There is a possibility that the Israeli national committee is now dormant or dissolved and its site abandoned: its HP news header misspells "Israel" and its latest other news is dated 2019!  If this is the case, Unicef should require it to post a notice of this on their site, with links to Unicef sites that provide a statement on the status of the Israeli Fund for Unicef and up-to-date information that reflects institutional positions.

Unicef's status as a credible source of information on the situation of the world's children is also at stake.
