US EditionUNICEF Urges Full Flow of Aid Into Gaza, Warns Child Deaths Could Spike
UNICEF warns 50,000 children face acute malnutrition in Gaza and calls for full humanitarian access to prevent rising child deaths amid ceasefire aid efforts.
- On Oct 10, Unicef called for all crossings into Gaza to be opened for food aid, warning child deaths could rise as children's immune systems are badly compromised.
- Prolonged undernourishment has undermined children's ability to withstand illnesses, with Ricardo Pires saying `they haven't been eating properly and recently at all for way too long`.
- During the first 60 days of the ceasefire, the UN plans a nutrition-focused aid surge, expecting about 600 aid trucks daily as Unicef warns 50,000 children need immediate treatment.
- Israeli troops began withdrawing from some Gaza areas on Oct 10 under a ceasefire, but humanitarian scale-up depends on full withdrawal to create safe humanitarian zones.
- With permissions stalled, UNRWA has sought to bring in large consignments from Jordan and Egypt, while the WFP aims to begin scaling up deliveries soon to northern Gaza, where many have lacked aid for weeks.
