UNICEF Head Says Entire Northern Gaza Population ‘at Imminent Risk’ of Death

Over the weekend, there were several deadly IDF attacks

All those who remain in northern Gaza — especially children — are “at imminent risk of dying” from disease, famine and ongoing bombardments there, UNICEF’s executive director warned.

There were several deadly attacks in the north over the weekend, Catherine Russell said in a statement Saturday. She said at least 50 children were reportedly killed Friday and Saturday in Jabalya, where two residential buildings in which hundreds of people sought shelter were hit by strikes.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not respond directly to questions about the strikes but said in a statement that it was "focused on dismantling Hamas' military capabilities while adhering to international law and minimizing civilian harm."
