UNICEF: Everyone is hungry in Gaza, and children are suffering the most.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Monday that all citizens in the Gaza Strip are hungry, but children are "suffering the most."

"Everyone is hungry in Gaza, but children are suffering the most," UNICEF added in a post on the X platform.

"Instead of going to school, boys and girls risk their lives in the hope of getting some food," she continued.

She stressed that "sufficient quantities of aid must now be allowed in."

Gaza is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in its history, with a severe famine intertwined with a genocidal war waged by Israel since October 7, 2023.

Despite international, UN, and Palestinian warnings of the looming famine in Gaza, Israel has continued to completely close the Strip's crossings to humanitarian, relief, and medical aid since March 2nd. This is an escalation of its starvation policy since the start of the war, amid warnings of the threat of mass death toll for more than 100,000 children in the Strip.

According to the latest figures, the death toll from famine and malnutrition has reached 134, including 88 children, since October 7, 2023.
