The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) has warned that the Gaza Strip has become the most dangerous place in the world for children, with no safe areas remaining, following the deaths of over 45 Palestinian children in the past two days alone amid ongoing Israeli attacks.
Edouard Beigbeder, Unicef Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, stated that children are being targeted in locations that should be safe such as hospitals, schools, shelters and even displacement tents. He stressed that over the past 19 months, Gaza has become increasingly deadly for children.
