Sorry for any inconvenience, but can we know where is the fuel to operate the water pumps? You promised to deliver it during the last truce, we haven’t received it yet.
You may know children are dying in Gaza and you can’t give them a sip of water!"
According to the agency, Israeli occupation forces have killed 124 #Palestinian minors in the #WestBank and #EastJerusalem this year. That's nearly four times the previous record of 36 children killed there in 2022. #UNICEF also said that at least 576 Palestinian #children were wounded in the occupied territories this year.
The youngest West Bank child killed in 2023 was Muhammad Tamimi, a 2-year-old toddler who was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier outside his family's home in Nabi Saleh village near #Ramallah in June. As they so often do after killing Palestinians, Israeli officials initially denied shooting Tamimi and his civilian father, who was seriously wounded.
More Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces in the illegally occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem in 2023 than in any previous recorded year, the United Nations Children's Fund announced on Thursday.

#UNICEF Photo of the year 2023 Winner is "#Ukraine - Under the dark clouds of war" by Patryk Jaracz
"5-year-old Alina is practicing riding her bike, followed by her friends. A moment of lightheartedness on some meadow in the northwest of Ukraine, banishing the dark clouds of misery, for a while at least. The night before, a drone strike set fire to an oil depot nearby. This time it was just an oil depot, not a residential building, not a hospital, not a school"

8,000 Palestinians are missing and most are feared under rubble, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
The reports from Gaza are hard to come by because of power cuts. Internet blocking and lack of living reporters in the northern parts.
#UNRWA called Gaza "the closest to hell one can imagine" and #UNICEF is warning about unaccounted deaths due to the collapse of the healthcare and administrative functions in most of #Gaza.
The #catastrophe is ongoing even though most media looking the other way and many people focusing on Christmas festivities.
Here’s how James Elder, UNICEF’s global spokesperson, has described the scenes inside the al-Nassar Hospital in Khan Younis, south of Gaza:
“Everywhere you turn to, there are children with third-degree burns, shrapnel wounds, brain injuries and broken bones. Mothers crying over children who look like they are hours away from death. It seems like a death zone right now.”
Catherine Russell, executive director of the United Nations Children’s Fund, has warned that Gaza is once again “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child” following the resumption of the war.
Russell said that hundreds of children will die each day if violence returns at the scale and intensity seen before the seven-day pause in fighting that ended on Friday.
#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
About 90% of #children under the age of two are consuming two or fewer food groups, #UNICEF said in a statement on Friday.
Most families said their children are only getting grains – including bread – or milk, which would meet the definition of severe #FoodPoverty, it said. #Gaza#Israel
#UNICEF: “This year has been the deadliest year on record for children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with conflict-related violence reaching unprecedented levels.
“83 children have been killed in the past twelve weeks – more than double the number of children killed in all of 2022, amid increased military and law enforcement operations. More than 576 have been injured and others have reportedly been detained. Furthermore, the West Bank has been heavily affected by movement and access restrictions."
