James Elder

James Elder is a spokesperson for UNICEF. He is newsworthy due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and UNICEF's efforts to provide aid to the region. Recently, UNICEF successfully delivered school kits with learning materials into Gaza for the first time in two and a half years, after previous blockades. This delivery is significant given the dire conditions in Gaza, exacerbated by winter storms and the destruction of infrastructure. The storms have led to deaths from hypothermia, particularly among children, and have highlighted the lack of adequate shelter for displaced Palestinians. Elder's role is crucial in communicating the needs of children in Gaza and advocating for increased humanitarian assistance in the face of these challenges.
