Unicef spokesperson Rosalia Bollen has said the challenges ahead are “tremendous” in terms of the provision of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
And when it comes to saving the lives of children in Gaza amid the total deprivation that they have faced, “a ceasefire on its own isn’t going to take that suffering away”, Bollen told Al Jazeera.
“Some of the aid that children in Gaza need is not aid that we can bring in on trucks. Every single child in Gaza today is deeply, deeply scarred and traumatised by what they’ve witnessed,” Bollen said.
“They’ve gone through things that no child should ever have to witness,” she said.
