UNICEF Says Over 100 Children Killed in Gaza Since October Ceasefire
The agency warns its count likely misses many cases because it includes only deaths with detailed documentation during a lull in large-scale fighting.
Overview
- Reports say Israeli military attacks have continued in Gaza after the ceasefire took effect.
- UNICEF’s figures span roughly three months and equate to about one child dying each day during the period.
- Gaza health authorities report more than 440 deaths overall since the ceasefire began.
- The total death toll in Gaza since the October 2023 fighting started now exceeds 71,400, according to local health officials.
- UNICEF stressed that conditions some describe as calm would be regarded as a crisis in other places.
