Two things I've read in the last five minutes on the humanitarian side of this.
Number one (from the unmentionable newspaper):
In separate comments, Unicef said it estimated that 17,000 children in Gaza were unaccompanied or had been separated from their families during the conflict, which began on 7 October after attacks by Hamas gunmen in southern Israel.
It said nearly all children in the strip were thought to require mental health support. “They present symptoms like extremely high levels of persistent anxiety, loss of appetite. They can’t sleep, they have emotional outbursts or they panic every time they hear a bombing,” said Jonathan Crickx, Unicef’s chief of communication for the occupied Palestinian Territories
“Before this war, Unicef was considering already that 500,000 children were in need of mental health and psychosocial support in Gaza,” Crickx added. “Today we estimate that almost all children are in need of that support – and that’s more than 1 million children.”
Number two (google translated from french):
The offices of Handicap International (shared with Enabel, the Belgian Development Agency) in Gaza were devastated by a bombing. No staff members were present during the attack. There is no reason to justify the destruction of humanitarian premises.
Since 1996, Handicap International has supported people with disabilities and vulnerable populations in Palestine. Our teams currently work in more than 100 shelters, providing mobility aids, recreational activities for children, and explosive ordnance risk education sessions. We remain determined to continue our humanitarian mission despite this tragedy.
