UN 's children's agency has managed to reunite just 63 children with their parents or guardians.

Since the start of the war in Gaza , more than 14,500 children have reportedly been killed, thousands more injured and an estimated 17,000 have been left unaccompanied or separated from the family members who would ordinarily care for them.

Kawther al-Masri : "The happiness of their return is indescribable, but it's overshadowed with sadness - they came back without their parents".

More than 8,300 cases have been reported to the ICRC but only about 2,100 have been closed.

Only a small number of these have led to family reunifications.

Doctors and staff at hospitals also play a part in trying to connect their patients with loved ones.
