The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced on Tuesday that about 28 children are dying daily in the Gaza Strip due to starvation and shelling caused by the Israeli blockade. Life in Gaza is becoming chaotic due to the 22-month conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Death from bombing, malnutrition and starvation. Deaths are due to a lack of aid and vital services,' UNICEF said in a post on X. 'In Gaza, an average of 28 children are killed every day.' 

Stressing Gaza's children's urgent need for food, clean water, medicine and safety, UNICEF said, "More than anything, they need a ceasefire." The Israeli army has closed Gaza's borders since March 2 and blocked vehicles carrying supplies and aid from entering the Gaza Strip. Because of this, it is said that it has caused famine crisis in Gaza.
