UNICEF: More than 50000 children killed or injured in Gaza

GAZA, May 31 (YPA) -More than 50,000 Palestinian children have been killed or wounded in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said.

Since the end of the ceasefire on 18 March, 1,309 children have reportedly been killed and 3,738 injured. In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023, according to a statement published by UNCEF on Wednesday.

UNICEF urged all parties to the conflict to end the violence, protect civilians, including children, respect international humanitarian law and human rights law, allow the immediate provision of humanitarian aid, and release all hostages.

“The children of Gaza need protection. They need food, water, and medicine. They need a ceasefire. But more than anything, they need immediate, collective action to stop this once and for all,” UNICEF emphasized.
