UNICEF Warns Gaza Winter Deaths as Cold Crisis Deepens
UNICEF warns Gaza winter deaths as conditions worsen during extreme cold and rain. UNICEF says children face serious danger due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Heavy winter storms and rainfall hit war-torn Gaza. Many displaced families live in temporary tents. These shelters fail to protect them from cold and rain. Living conditions worsen each day.
UNICEF expresses deep concern over the situation of children in Gaza. The agency says harsh weather and the humanitarian crisis now pose a severe threat to children’s lives.
Millions of children stay in temporary tents across Gaza. They face extreme cold, weak shelters, and shortages of food, healthcare, and safety services. These factors place their lives at constant risk.
UNICEF warns that deaths among newborns and young children may rise. This risk will increase if authorities do not take large-scale winter protection measures.
Jonathan Crickx, UNICEF’s Chief of Communication in Palestine, spoke to Al Jazeera. He said living conditions for children in Gaza have become terrifying.
He explained that rainwater floods many tents. Blankets remain soaked. Children own only one or two sets of clothes. Families struggle to keep them dry.
UNICEF also warns about the spread of diseases. The current conditions increase health risks for children and infants.
UNICEF warns Gaza winter deaths and urges immediate action to protect children before conditions worsen further.
