James Elder, a UNICEF spokesman, says the situation in Gaza is "dire".

"It should break our hearts that it's been allowed to get to this point," he told Al Jazeera, adding that as soon as he walked into the hospital in Deir el-Balah, he found a little boy named Ali who was asleep in the family home five days ago when it was struck.

"He fell three floors and landed in rubble. I met his mother who said the two other siblings have been killed. This has gone on for 250 days," Elder said.
