35 Palestinian Children Killed Daily in Gaza Amid Ongoing Genocide

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has revealed that 35 Palestinian children are being killed daily in Gaza as a result of the Israeli occupation's aggression. UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, speaking at a press conference in Geneva, reported that since October 7, 2023, over 15,000 children have lost their lives, equating to an average of 35 children killed every day throughout the months of conflict.

Additionally, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) highlighted that approximately 15 children are injured daily with lifelong disabilities due to the use of explosive weapons. This analysis, informed by a report from the British organisation "Save the Children," underscores the devastating physical and psychological toll on Gaza’s children. The injuries range from severe limb damage to hearing impairments, with an estimated 475 children affected monthly.

The ongoing aggression, supported by the United States, has created one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. Since October 7, 2023, over 157,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured, with women and children comprising the majority of casualties. The genocide has also left over 11,000 individuals missing amidst widespread destruction, famine, and immense suffering for Gaza’s civilian population.
