“A call for Palestinian children”, UNICEF calls for stopping terror and restoring children with their sense of future

But what was more expressive of the title was the image that was displayed all the time inside the hall that embraced the event, and she was the girl Amal, who was 7 years ago. And that picture was taken for her in the early days of the war in Gaza, but no one knows her fate now.

UNICEF official was among the officials of other nations who participated in the event, which was organized by Jordan, Belgium and the European Union. But the two main speakers who consumed the words – via a video message – were 15 -year -old, and the 16 -year -old whose names were changed and their face was withheld for fear of any reprisals.

After that, the Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al -Safadi called for a minute of silence for the Palestinian children who were buried under the decline of their homes, and the hungry children who live before the eyes of their mothers, and Palestinian boys and girls whose dreams were robbed.

Translate the words into verbs

The call to work for Palestinian children is an invitation to support their rights and end all the grave violations, and an immediate stop of shooting until the killing stops, and the release of the hostages, as he told the United Nations news, Ted Shayban, Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF.

But he added that the most important of this “The children can restore their sense of the future, and to see their rights respected.”.

On the authority of this call, Shaiban said: “What we need is to see the words translate into verbs.”Adding that every day the ceasefire is delayed, 28 children die, which is equivalent to a classroom full of children, who spend their love every day.

The UN official stressed “The need for this terror to stop, and this stigma that smats our conscience ends.”.

Ahmed will not return as it was

When Shaiban was in Gaza last July, he saw the repercussions of the war on the ground and what it means to the children of Gaza.

Among these children are Ahmed “Who was waiting for a queue to obtain nutritional supplies with his sister Samar, who was killed in an Israeli air strike, and who will not return as it was. Everything he was trying to do was bring a little food to his family. Instead, his sister died and he remained scars on his body for the rest of his life.”.

This visit also included the West Bank, where it met some families who were displaced by military orders and building new settlements.

He recalled that there are currently 30,000 Palestinian children displaced in the West Bank, while 233 children have been killed since 2023.

Shaiban said that “This feeling of returning to the normal life you feel when you go to school safely, go home and play with your friends, does not exist with children of the West Bank.”.

He stressed that in the midst of the attention that is being given to Gaza, “We must also remember that the rights of children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are not respected.”.

Heroes make a difference

Despite the tremendous challenges, UNICEF continues to provide humanitarian aid on the ground, as Shaiban told us.

He explained that the organization has managed to deliver nutrients – since the resumption of allowing the entry of aid and commercial materials partially – to 120 health and nutritional clinics throughout the Gaza Strip. The organization also managed to provide vaccines to continue vaccinating children, repairing water networks in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, and providing psychological and social support for children.

The UN official added: “Every day, UNICEF heroes on Earth make a difference.”.

Shaiban reiterated the call to a ceasefire, the arrival of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies to Gaza without obstacle, and stopping the recent attack on Gaza City, which forces people to go to the southern Gaza Strip.
