RAMALLAH, Sunday, April 28, 2024 (WAFA) – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Sunday that it had received reports that at least two children died due to the heat wave in the Gaza Strip.

This came in a statement on the agency's X profile regarding the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza in light of the Israeli attacks.

The agency pointed out that children are paying the highest price and called for an immediate ceasefire.

The statement confirmed that the displaced in Gaza receive only one liter of water per day, which is much less than the daily minimum of 15 liters according to international standards.

The statement stressed that the humanitarian conditions in Gaza are getting worse due to rising temperatures.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini wondered: “What more to endure: Death, hunger, disease, displacement, now living in greenhouse-like structures under scorching heat?”
