United Nations Children's Agency (UNICEF) revealed that at least 19,000 children are currently living without their parents, whether with relatives, other caregivers, or on their own, with the figure being certainly greater.

Jonathan Crickx, a spokesperson for the UNICEF, said that previous conflicts did not entail as much bombing and displacement in such a tiny and populated region with a high number of children.

He also noted that 41% of the families assessed by UNICEF in Gaza were caring for children other than their own.
