In the past five days, Israeli strikes on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of four children and injured five others, according to Unicef. The children, aged between two and 16, were killed in separate strikes, with one fatality occurring from wounds sustained last week. Additionally, five other children aged eight to 17 suffered life-changing injuries from live fire or shrapnel following the strikes.
Unicef reported that a partner's warehouse was heavily damaged by a strike, destroying over $770,000 worth of nutrition supplies intended for more than 45,000 children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. Furthermore, a UN-supported water well and desalination facility serving more than 4,000 people in Deir al-Balah was severely damaged, prompting partners to truck in water from alternative sources.
An explosive munition also detonated about 30 meters from a UN convoy carrying fuel, highlighting the ongoing risks faced by humanitarian workers in the region.
