A child is injured or killed every 10 minutes in Gaza, Unicef spokesperson says

Gaza has become the "most dangerous place in the world for children", Unicef spokesperson Tess Ingram told Al Jazeera, warning that the territory has transformed into a place where their lives are being destroyed. 

Ingram noted that a Palestinian child is killed or wounded every 10 minutes, adding that the only way to end the "killing and maiming of children is a ceasefire."

The Unicef spokesperson stressed the dire conditions children in the besieged enclave endure, including famine, lack of humanitarian aid, a collapsing health sector and constant Israeli bombardment. 

"Every child in Gaza has experienced unspeakable levels of fear and suffering, and UNICEF estimates that nearly one million children are in need of psychosocial support," Ingram said.
