NEW YORK, May 18, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned on Sunday that the situation in the Gaza Strip has deteriorated significantly over the past two months due to the Israeli blockade and the denial of humanitarian aid.

UNICEF said in a post on its Twitter account that children in Gaza have been facing relentless Israeli bombardment and deprived of essential goods, services, and life-saving care since the beginning of the war of extermination on the Strip.

UNICEF stressed the need to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and to resume the ceasefire immediately.

It confirmed that "the situation in the Gaza Strip has deteriorated significantly over the past two months due to the blockade and the denial of humanitarian aid."

Since March 2, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, preventing the passage of any humanitarian aid, pushing the Strip into a state of famine, despite the backlog of aid trucks at its borders.
