Israel is trapping children suffering from cancer, head trauma, amputations, burns and starvation in Gaza.
UN: It Would Take 7 Years to Evacuate Dying Gaza Children at Current Rate | Truthout Though there are thousands of children in Gaza currently in need of urgent medical care outside of the strip, Israel’s brutal blockade means that it would take over seven years to complete these evacuations at the current rate, the UN has reported. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) wrote on Wednesday that there are “thousands of families” being deprived of health care due to Israel systematically dismantling the health system in Gaza. At least 2,500 children need urgent care, but with “almost no medical evacuation available” because Israel is allowing so few people to evacuate, many of the children in need are “already losing their lives,” UNRWA wrote. The UN says these children are suffering from illnesses like cancer, as well as injuries like head trauma, amputations, burns and starvation. Many require specialized care, while others require care that is simply no longer available in Gaza due to Israel’s genocidal assault. “These children deserve protection, safety, and a future. They deserve a #CeasefireNow,” UNRWA said. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
