The Children in Northern Gaza "Paralyzed by Fear"

After 50 days of Israeli siege, the remaining inhabitants in northern Gaza are forced to search for food among the rubble – since access to food and drinking water is non-existent, according to the UN's aid organization for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa).

Here in Gaza City, I meet people who have fled for their lives and they show me these horrific film clips where they run through the streets, they navigate through the rubble, says Louise Wateridge at Unrwa.

There are children's bodies all around them, everywhere there are dead human bodies that they have to step over to get away from there.

She further describes some children's fear when they heard fighter jets and drones nearby.

They freeze completely, they say nothing, their teeth start chattering, they are completely paralyzed by fear from the recent weeks' experiences.

Around 65,000 people are estimated to be in the besieged areas since the Israeli military announced on October 6 that they would intensify operations in the already ravaged northern part of Gaza.

According to Israel, the operation aims to prevent terrorist-stamped Hamas from regrouping in the area.
