Tehran, IRNA – The Spokesperson for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), James Elder, has stated that 100 children are martyred or wounded in Gaza every day, noting, "If the war does not stop, the situation will get worse."

Elder stated on Monday that the civilians, particularly children, in the Gaza Strip are suffering greatly due to the ongoing war, reported by IRNA, citing the Palestinian Shahab news agency.

He emphasized that if the war does not stop and aid is not allowed into the Gaza Strip, the situation will deteriorate further.
