Ted Chaiban, the Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF, has called for an immediate ceasefire to protect children in Gaza and facilitate humanitarian aid access. 

Chaiban emphasized that the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with the number of displaced individuals rising to 1.9 million. 
In a concerning trend, he said, the daily number of aid trucks has plummeted from 100 in August to just 15 in September, exacerbating the suffering of the civilian population.
Chaiban confirmed the urgent need for a political solution that guarantees the rights and protection of children in the region.
