US actress and outspoken human rights activist Mia Farrow said on Thursday that children living in blockaded, impoverished and war-wracked Gaza Strip deserve a better life."The children appear traumatised," Farrow told a media conference in the Palestinian enclave on the second and final day of a visit as goodwill ambassador for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
"The teachers say that when they hear a loud noise they (the children) look to the sky and cry out and weep. They don't know what the future holds," she told the joint media conference with Egyptian actor Mahmoud Kabil, also a UNICEF ambassador.
"They deserve better," she said.
Farrow, 64, arrived in Gaza on Wednesday and met children working in smuggling tunnels along the Egypt border, toured a school and a hospital and was briefed on the impact on children of the Gaza war as well as the blockade.
