UNICEF: Ongoing Conflicts Destroy Children's Lives in Middle East


The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) affirmed that the lives of children in the Middle East are being destroyed due to ongoing conflicts.


"All the parties are obligated to protect civilians, including children, humanitarian workers, and civilian infrastructure, including schools and health facilities," UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said.
"Parties must allow unfettered access to life-saving aid. These obligations are flagrantly disregarded," UNICEF Executive Director stressed.
