The bombs have stopped falling in the Gaza Strip but the humanitarian crisis there continues, said Tess Ingram, Communications Director and Spokesperson for the UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF. 

Ms. Ingram was recently in Gaza, where boys and girls are barely getting their basic needs met.  

They urgently need a scale-up in supplies and services, she said “and the ceasefire is a really good opportunity for us to do that.” 

She told UN News’s Nancy Sarkis that UNICEF and all humanitarians need the truce to hold so that they can save young lives.
