Equivalent of 'entire classroom' is being killed daily in Gaza, Unicef says

Gaza has become the "most dangerous place in the world for children", Unicef spokesperson Tess Ingram told Al Jazeera, warning that the territory has transformed into a place where their lives are being destroyed. 

Ingram said that since the start of the war, an average of 27 children have been killed every day - the equivalent of losing an entire classroom daily.

"This happens as children play, learn, sleep and try to find what they need to survive," she said.

The Unicef spokesperson highlighted the dire conditions children face in the besieged enclave, including famine, the lack of humanitarian aid, a collapsing health sector, and relentless Israeli bombardment.

"Every child in Gaza has experienced unspeakable levels of fear and suffering, and Unicef estimates that nearly one million children are in need of psychosocial support," she added.
