At least 500 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the Israel-Gaza war began on Saturday, October 7.
As the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas entered its seventh day on Friday, October 13, at least 500 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip.
In Gaza, the health ministry said at least 1,572 Palestinians have been killed, including 276 women and 6,612 citizens wounded due to Israeli attacks.
World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday issued a statement warning that the health system in the Gaza Strip is at a breaking point.
“Time is running out to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe if fuel and life-saving health and humanitarian supplies cannot be urgently delivered to the Gaza Strip amidst the complete blockade,” WHO says.
It calls for the immediate establishment of a humanitarian corridor.
The UN has announced that the Israeli military has instructed 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza to relocate to the south within 24 hours.
“The United Nations considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
