Why it matters:
Preventing the entry of polio vaccines increases the risk of outbreaks of preventable diseases. Widespread restrictions imposed by the Israeli regime on the entry of humanitarian aid threaten the lives of thousands in the Strip.
What he says:
Kazem Abu Khalaf, spokesperson for UNICEF in Palestine, emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and called for the establishment of an international mechanism to pressure the Israeli regime to facilitate the delivery of food and medical supplies to this area.
Abu Khalaf also warned that more than a thousand pregnant women in Gaza are at serious risk due to a lack of nutrients and medical treatments, a situation that requires immediate medical intervention.
Key points:
- More than 16,000 children have been martyred in the attacks of the Israeli regime.
- 57 children have died due to malnutrition and a lack of medicine.
State of play: Since the beginning of the Israeli regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the number of martyrs in Gaza has reached 52,567, and the number of injured has reached 118,610.
