UNICEF has expressed deep concern over the alarming toll on children in Gaza where at least 2,360 kids have been killed in Israeli air raids since October 7.
“The situation in the Gaza Strip is a growing stain on our collective conscience. The rate of death and injuries of children is simply staggering,” Adele Khodr, regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, said.
“Even more frightening is the fact that unless tensions are eased, and unless humanitarian aid is allowed, the daily death toll will continue to rise.”
