Children in Gaza being denied medical care, says UNICEF
By Nathan Morley
In recent days, UNICEF has highlighted the dire situation faced by children in Gaza who are in critical need of medical care.
According to the organization鈥檚 spokesperson James Elder, out of the 2,500 children requiring urgent medical attention, less than one child per day is being evacuated from Gaza.
In a press briefing, Elder expressed serious concern over the slow pace of medical evacuations, stating that at the current pace, it would take over seven years to evacuate all the children in need of medical attention.
The delay is worsening an already desperate situation, with hospitals in Gaza struggling to cope with the overwhelming number of patients and dwindling supplies.
