‘We cannot return to the bombardment of children’ in Gaza, UNICEF spokesperson tells FRANCE 24

The four-day truce between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas has "allowed us to get the biggest distribution of aid to the north [of Gaza] in a month", UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said Sunday to FRANCE 24. "We need a lasting peace or we are just going to see more devastation and more and more deaths of children. [...] We cannot turn this [aid] off in two days' time and return to the bombardment of children" in the Palestinian territory, he said.
