Ammon News - The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said that the rate of evacuating children from the Gaza Strip for medical reasons has decreased from 296 to 22 children per month, following Israel's control of the Rafah border gate on May 7.

"The current rate of evacuating children from Gaza is less than one child per day," said James Elder, spokesman for the UN agency, during a press conference held at the UN office in Geneva yesterday.

He added, "If this deadly slow pace continues, it will take more than 7 years to evacuate 2,500 children in need of urgent medical care."

The UN official stressed that children in Gaza are not only dying from bombs and bullets, but also from not receiving the necessary medical care.
