Eduard Beigbeter described the local situation as “very concerned” in a statement released on Sunday after a four-day visit to the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.
Beigbeder said that if a lack of humanitarian and medical aid continues in Gaza, about a million children live without the very basics needed to survive.
He warned that around 4,000 newborns have no access to critical care due to the significant impact on health facilities in the Gaza Strip.
“Some children live with incredible fear and anxiety. Others face the real consequences of humanitarian deprivation and protection, evacuation, destruction, or destruction of death.”
According to Beigbeder, the Israeli regime is preventing the invasion of more than 180,000 childhood daily vaccines into Gaza, which allows for full vaccinations of 60,000 children under the age of two.
On Saturday, UNICEF Executive Director Katherine Russell said child malnutrition in Gaza was “shocking.”
She added that her organization is “hindered by unnecessary restrictions, which are at the expense of children’s lives.”
According to UNICEF statistics, one in three children under the age of 2 suffer from acute malnutrition in northern Gaza.
The organization said at least 23 children have lost their lives in recent weeks from dehydration and malnutrition in Gaza.
