#UNICEF says it is working to distribute large quantities of tarps, blankets and winter clothes in Gaza but is still well short of meeting people’s needs.
“We have been able to distribute 250,000 [kits of winter clothing for children],” said UNICEF communications chief Jonathan Crickx. “It’s an important achievement for us, but the total number of children in Gaza is 1 million, so we are nowhere close to supporting all children in Gaza.”

“Most of these children, they don’t have a change of clothes, so when the clothes are wet or dirty, they wear them,” he added.
“We have children who are at risk of dying from hypothermia so we are very, very concerned,” Crickx continued. “It’s really a question of saving lives of children.”
