About 130,000 children under the age of 10 trapped in north Gaza, aid group says
Save the Children noted that the children have been cut off from supplies of food, water and medicine since October 6, when Israeli forces launched a siege on northern Gaza.
“The situation in northern Gaza is not fit for human survival and yet we know there are about 130,000 children under 10 trapped in those conditions, not to mention the thousands of older children and their families,” said Jeremy Stoner, the charity’s regional director.
“Humanitarian aid to Gaza has hit an all-time low with the appalling situation in northern Gaza the tip of a terrible iceberg. Safe humanitarian access must be granted immediately to allow food, water, winter supplies and medical assistance to reach those who are trapped in the death zone in the north,” he said.
Stoner called for global intervention to reach those trapped in the north.
“Without access and a ceasefire, we are condemning children to perish in hell on earth,” he said.
