Ten stalwart UNICEF staff members have remained in Gaza throughout the current crisis there, working under very difficult and dangerous conditions in an effort to bring some relief to children in need.
One of those workers, Reem, is a Project Officer with the UNICEF child protection team. Living and working in Gaza with her 11-year-old twins, her 15-year-old son and her husband has been particularly challenging in the past few weeks.
In a telephone interview with UNICEF Radio yesterday, she described life in the midst of crisis.
