The children of Gaza “have realized that their parents can no longer protect them from bombs and hunger”. “They are emaciated, thin, scared and very tired.
And they are dying of hunger, dehydration and diseases such as diarrhea,” James Elder, spokesperson for Unicef, says. The depth of the horror experienced in Gaza surpasses our ability to describe it," says the spokesperson, from Rafah, in the south of this Palestinian territory, to which foreign journalists are not allowed to enter. ‘I have been working at the UN for 20 years and I have not seen such a level of destruction anywhere,' says Elder.
