What would happen to children in Gaza if the ceasefire were to collapse?

If the ceasefire fails, the consequences for Gaza's children would be catastrophic. Just weeks ago, children were being killed in so-called safe zones, dying from malnutrition in their mothers' arms, languishing in pain in hospitals, and even being crushed to death while waiting for flour. This dire scenario could return if hostilities resume. UNICEF emphasizes that returning to such conditions is unacceptable, as it would mean reverting to a situation where children face extreme violence, starvation, and inadequate medical care. The stakes are extraordinarily high for the 1.1 million children in Gaza who remain vulnerable.
