UNICEF: 322 children were killed and 609 others were injured after the ceasefire collapsed in the Gaza Strip – the seventh day

UNICEF announced, “At least 322 children were killed and 609 others were injured in the Gaza Strip, after the ceasefire collapsed by the Israeli occupation army.”

And “UNICEF”, in a statement, said that there are “100 children in Gaza who are killed or subjected to mutilation daily during the past ten days,” stressing that “most of the victims in the Strip are the displaced who have resorted to temporary tents or affected homes.”

The statement added that “the comprehensive ban on the entry of supplies to the Gaza Strip exposes civilians, especially a million children, at great risk,” noting that “during 18 months of the war, more than 15,000 children were killed and more than 34 thousand were injured and a million children were forced to flee.”

And “UNICEF” stressed that “the prohibition of the longest aid since the beginning of the war has caused a decrease that warns of high malnutrition, diseases and children’s deaths,” warning that “attacks on relief workers in Gaza violate international law and threaten humanitarian operations.”

Israel resumed its bombing on the Gaza Strip, early on Tuesday morning, after a two -month hiatus and specifically since the end of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas on January 19, after the talks stalled to extend the first stage of the agreement or move to the second stage of it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he instructed the Israeli army to take a “strong action” against “Hamas”, “in response to” its refusal to release the hostages and reject all the ceasefire proposals. “

On the other hand, the Palestinian “Hamas” movement, Netanyahu and his government, held fully responsible for “the coup against the ceasefire and the exposure of prisoners in Gaza to an unknown fate.”

The ceasefire agreement was supposed to continue between Israel and “Hamas”, as soon as the first stage of it, which ended on the first of March, or entering its second phase, but the differences between Israel and Hamas regarding the following steps prevented this.
