UNICEF Warns Aid Struggles in Gaza | Calgary News

UNICEF’s Gaza chief praises Canada’s aid but warns it’s being blocked by Israel’s attacks on water systems and aid access, calling the humanitarian crisis “pretty horrific” — with families in tents, overrun by rats and insects, and kids getting bitten. Despite a ceasefire, 200 children have died since October, as millions are crammed into shrinking zones. Israel defends restrictions as necessary to stop Hamas, but aid groups say rules are too broad, crippling repairs to water and sanitation. UNICEF is now stepping in as “last resort,” trucking water daily at huge taxpayer cost — and says fixing infrastructure is simple if equipment can get through.
