New York - Saba:
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Friday that the occupation forces killed 45 Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip over the past two days. It called for an immediate end to the daily suffering and killing of children.
The organization noted in a statement that this is "another devastating reminder that children in Gaza suffer first and foremost, forced to go hungry day after day and fall victim to indiscriminate attacks."
For its part, the World Health Organization said that "Israeli attacks continued to impact healthcare facilities, including the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis, which is no longer operational."
It noted that the hospital's closure cut off vital services, including neurosurgery, cardiac care, and cancer treatment, all of which are unavailable elsewhere in Gaza.
The WHO added that the closure ends the facility's role as a major medical evacuation center, further straining the already overburdened health system.
