The organization said in a statement on the occasion of the Universal Children's Day and the 20th anniversary of signing the Geneva Convention on the Rights of the Child that Israel was not applying the international laws that were enacted for the sake of the children.
Catering for children is distributed among various government offices and there is no one section catering for their conditions in an appropriate manner, it added.
UNICEF also blamed Israel for the absence of a comprehensive strategy for children's rights or to implement the Convention, adding that Israel excludes the West Bank and Gaza Strip from implementation of international agreements despite being occupied lands under its military control.
