Unicef has sounded the alarm: more than a million children in Gaza have been cut off from life-saving aid for over a month.
The UN agency slammed Israel’s blockade on humanitarian relief as a blatant violation of international law, warning that the consequences are catastrophic.
Malnutrition is spiralling, disease is spreading, and child mortality is set to rise unless the siege on aid is lifted, Unicef warned. Thousands of aid parcels sit waiting, but Israeli restrictions keep them from reaching desperate families.
In a chilling revelation, Unicef said Gaza has run out of complementary foods for infants, and there’s only enough baby formula left for 400 children—for just one month.
Children already weakened by malnutrition are now at extreme risk, trapped in a warzone where even basic survival is slipping out of reach.
