UNICEF: 28 children killed daily in Gaza

GAZA, Aug. 05 (YPA) – The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said an average of 28 children a day – the size of a classroom – have been killed in Gaza due to ongoing Israeli bombardment and starvation that has lasted more than 660 days.

In a post on X, UNICEF said: “Death by bombardments. Death by malnutrition and starvation. Death by lack of aid and vital services. In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day – the size of a classroom – have been killed.”

“Gaza’s children need food, water, medicine and protection. More than anything, they need a ceasefire, NOW.”

In this context, the United Nations said that more than 1,500 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since last May while trying to access food or at aid distribution points that have been “militarized” by “Israel”, as well as along UN aid routes.
