Unicef Deutschland - Kinder leiden in Kriegen besonders unter Wasserknappheit

Der Klimawandel führt zu einem dramatischen Wassermangel, aber Kriege verschärfen die Lage noch. Betroffen sind laut Unicef vor allem Kinder in Kriegsgebieten.#Wassermangel #Kinder #Unicef #Kriege
Unicef: Kinder leiden in Kriegen besonders unter Wasserknappheit

380,000 children escaping war in #Sudan have been forced to seek refuge in neighbouring eastern #Chad.

Among other challenges, they are also vulnerable to deadly diseases, often caused by the lack of safe water and basic hygiene.

#UNICEF is providing clean water and health services to families. However, what children urgently need is peace.

The Global Education Cluster, jointly led by #UNICEF and Save the Children, issued a report detailing the Israeli army's demolition of schools in #Gaza.

The data shows that more than 70% of Gaza's #schools have been destroyed or targeted by Israel, rendering it unfeasible for children to resume education in the near future.

#UNICEF: #Children in the #Gaza Strip face a deadly triple threat to their lives, as cases of diseases rise, nutrition plummets and the escalation in hostilities approaches its fourteenth week.

The world cannot stand by and watch. The violence and the suffering of children must stop.

Thousands of children have already died from the #violence, while living conditions for children continue to rapidly deteriorate, with increasing cases of diarrhea and rising food poverty among children, raising the risk of mounting child deaths.

“Children in Gaza are caught in a nightmare that worsens with every passing day,” said Catherine Russell, UNICEF’s Executive Director. “Children and families in the Gaza Strip continue to be killed and injured in the fighting, and their lives are increasingly at risk from preventable diseases and lack of food and water. All children and civilians must be protected from violence and have access to basic services and supplies.”

Cases of diarrhea in children under five years of age rose from 48,000 to 71,000 in just one week starting 17 December, equivalent to 3,200 new cases of diarrhea per day. The significant increase in cases in such a short timeframe is a strong indication that child health in the Gaza Strip is fast deteriorating. Before the escalation in hostilities, an average of 2,000 cases of diarrhea in children under five were recorded per month. This recent climb represents a staggering increase of about 2000 per cent.

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.

War crimes of the past, justifies war crimes of today : U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham uses WW2 card to condone Israel's indiscriminate killings— #UNICEF described a ‘war on children’—and the massive Palestinian death toll:

“Tell us how to do it differently. What is too many people dying in #WW2 after Pearl Harbor? Did the American public worry about how many people were dying to destroy #Tokyo and #Berlin? I know it's not the same, but it's similar.”

“Vice President Harris, tell Israel how to destroy #Hamas in a way not to hurt innocent Palestinians... No Republican believes this, by the way, no Republican is telling Israel to change your military tactics.”
