LONDON - Save the Children echoed demanding an immediate ceasefire in the midst of the dire humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and warned that the number of casualties would increase as water supply was depleted.

More than 1,000 children were reported killed in 11 days of airstrikes in Gaza one child dies every 15 minutes and a third of the total casualties in Gaza are children," the British NGO said in a statement.

Regarding the terrible humanitarian situation' in Gaza that is under the total scope', they recorded a warning Monday by the United Nations Agency for Assistance and Work (UNRWA) for Palestinians in the Near East on clean water supplies.

"People, especially children, will die from dehydration soon," said UNRWA, quoted from Anadolu.

"Water is running out and time is running out for Gazan children," said Jason Lee, director of the Save the Children's Palestine office.

"Without the end of the battle without a ceasefire thousands of children's lives are in danger," he said.

Regarding reports that the Israeli government continued its water supply on Sunday to the south of Gaza, the NGO said that electric-dependent water pumps were not functioning for four days without electricity in the Gaza Strip.

"This morning, the United Nations warned that all hospitals in Gaza are believed to have only about 48 hours of fuel left to operate backup generators, so thousands of patients, including children, are at risk," he said.
