What is the current situation for children in Gaza despite the ceasefire?

Despite the end of bombings and bullets after 15 months of conflict, children in Gaza continue to suffer from an ongoing humanitarian crisis. While their lives may no longer be threatened by direct violence, the cessation of fighting hasn't resolved the fundamental humanitarian challenges they face. As UNICEF Communications Manager Tess Ingram explains, the humanitarian crisis persists even in the absence of active warfare. More than 1.1 million children still lack access to adequate shelter, safe water, and essential healthcare services, creating conditions of continued suffering despite the formal ceasefire.
