UNICEF spokesperson James Elder talked to our reporters about the terrible damage he saw in Gaza while delivering supplies during the ceasefire.
“I spend my days in places where many people have been forced to leave their homes. ” The effects of war on children are very bad and can cause lasting pain.
Yesterday I traveled north with a group of very important help. The places, buildings, and people’s faces are full of distress and trauma. This could be from the damage and destruction or from the anxiety of people who have lost everything.
He said that lots of people from Gaza are still going south because they were told to leave, even though they don’t know where they’re going.
