In the recent months, children in Gaza were greatly affected by violence and trauma.  More than 500 children were killed and approximately 3,300 severly injured.  This is not to mention the thousands that suffer from emotional trauma.  The community and UNICEF is working hard to make schools safe and up and running again.  “Investing in education is an investment for the future,’ says UNICEF-State of Palestine Special Representative, June Kunugi.  ‘Without increased support and commitment to their education and protection, an entire generation in Gaza could be lost. It is our collective moral obligation to prevent this,’ she adds” (UNICEF, 2014).  UNICEF is reaching out and delivering vaccines to the community and medical supplies for hospitals.
