Unicef: Schools, shelters must be protected, violence against children in Gaza must stop

Aug 12, 2024

New York [US], August 12: The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) affirmed that "schools and shelters must be protected, and this violence against children must stop."
This was stated in the wake of the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip at dawn Saturday after the occupation warplanes bombed Al-Tabi'in School, which shelters displaced people in Al-Daraj neighbourhood east of Gaza City, which resulted in the martyrdom of more than 100 citizens and the injury of hundreds.
"Horrific reports of another attack this morning on a school in Gaza sheltering displaced people, with children reportedly killed and injured in a place they thought was safe," Unicef said on X platform.
In June 2024, Unicef affirmed that the killing of children in Gaza and the destruction in the Strip will not bring peace to children or the region, stressing that a ceasefire is the only solution.
