Unicef says children in Gaza live in 'hell on earth'

James Elder, a spokesperson for the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), described the situation for children in Gaza as "hell on earth".

"Gaza is the true embodiment of hell on earth for the 1 million children there. The situation is getting worse by the day. Estimates indicate that the death toll among children in Gaza has exceeded 14,100, which means that between 35 and 40 girls and boys are being killed every day in Gaza," Elder said. 

He also warned that there are "many, many more under the rubble".

Elder highlighted that children in Gaza have been repeatedly displaced, asking: "Where do the children and their families go? They are not safe in schools and shelters. They are not safe in hospitals. And they are certainly not safe in overcrowded camps."
