Palestinian children 'deprived of the most essential supplies and services': Unicef

Palestinian children remain deprived of the most essential supplies and services, said the UN agency for children, as Israel continues to halt deliveries to the Gaza Strip amid a deadlock over a fragile ceasefire. “Far too often, children in the State of Palestine are the victims of this relentless conflict. Nearly all of the 2.4 million children living across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, are affected in some way," Unicef Middle East and North Africa regional director Edouard Beigbeder said on Sunday.
