UN estimates 17,000 Gaza children left unaccompanied amid Israel’s war

Gaza: UN estimates 17,000 Gaza children left unaccompanied amid Israel’s war. More than one million children in the besieged Gaza Strip now require mental health support, UNICEF says.
The United Nations says that at least 17,000 children in the Gaza Strip have been left unaccompanied or separated from their families.
Spokesman for the UNICEF in the Palestinian territories Jonathan Crickx told a media briefing in Geneva, via video-link from Jerusalem that mental health of children in Gaza is severely affected by the war.
He called for a ceasefire so that UNICEF would be able conduct a proper count of children who are unaccompanied or separated.
Seven Palestinians have been martyred and several injured in unabated Israeli air strikes on a home in Rafah.
The Israeli military also raided Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, firing on the facility and expelling patients and medical workers.
A UNICEF spokesperson said aid in the north is nonexistent since beginning of this year.
The White House has confirmed that Israel is preventing flour from reaching Gaza, where people are facing an imminent risk of famine. The martyrdom toll off Palestinians in Israel’s attacks on Gaza has risen to over twenty-eight thousand since October 7 last year.
