In an interview with FRANCE 24, Catherine Russell, the executive director of the
United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) sounded the alarm about the plight of
children in Gaza after more than five months of Israel's war with Hamas. 

The head of UNICEF said an estimate of 13,450 children killed in the Palestinian
territory since October 7, 2023 is "probably on the low end". She noted that
many more children are trapped in the rubble or are wounded and often separated
from their families.

Russell also discussed the "incredibly dire" situation regarding hunger in Gaza.
According to a UN-backed food security assessment, half of Gaza's population is
experiencing "catastrophic" hunger, with famine projected to hit the north "any
time" between now and May without urgent intervention.

"This is very much a man-made problem,' Russell told FRANCE 24. "All of us in
the international community have to do better here and make sure that we can get
aid in to these children." She concluded: "We cannot have children starving to
death [in Gaza], that is not acceptable".
