United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) indicated this on Tuesday Every ten minutes a Palestinian child is killed or injured Due to the military attack launched by Israel against the Gaza Strip. The statement noted that the number of minors whose lives have been “forever changed by the horrors of war” is “enormous.”
“with At least 70 children are injured every dayThe number of medical evacuations needs to be increased so that children can get the medical care they need,” explains Tess Ingram, communications specialist at UNICEF. He added, “A ceasefire is the only way to stop the killing and mutilation of children” who are “not only in hospitals, but also on the streets, in makeshift shelters.”
The fact that minors are found in so many places makes it “quite difficult” to determine the exact number of victims.
