The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) confirmed that nine out of ten children in Gaza suffer from severe food poverty and cannot obtain adequate food groups in order to maintain their growth.
The organization stated - in a report carried by CNN on Thursday - that the hostilities and restrictions imposed on humanitarian aid that continued for months in the Gaza Strip led to the collapse of the food and health systems, which had catastrophic consequences for children and their families... noting that Fighting throughout the Strip has left agricultural land destroyed, livestock starving, the fishing fleet destroyed, as well as the destruction of food processing facilities and warehouses.
