UNICEF has said that more than 13,000 children are reported to have been killed in the conflict in Gaza since October 2023.

This footage was filmed and produced 15 April 2024.

The escalation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip is having a catastrophic impact on children and families. Children are dying at an alarming rate, more than 13,000 are reported to have been killed in this current conflict and thousands more have been injured.

Around 1.7 million people in the Gaza Strip are estimated to have been internally displaced – half of them children. They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel and medicine. Their homes have been destroyed; their families torn apart.

In the Gaza Strip, around 57 percent of water infrastructure has been destroyed or partially damaged. The current water production capacity is estimated at below five per cent of the usual output, and progressively decreases every day.
