GENEVA: At least 67 children have been killed in conflict-related incidents since the ceasefire began in Gaza, the United Nations children’s agency said.
“Dozens more have been injured. That is an average of almost two children killed every day since the ceasefire took effect,” UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said in Geneva.
UNICEF said on Thursday that a baby girl was killed in an airstrike in eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza, alongside her parents.
On Wednesday, seven children were killed in airstrikes in Gaza City and the south, UNICEF said.
A nine-year-old girl was treated on Wednesday at a Gaza City hospital for an injury to her face caused by gunfire from an Israeli drone, MSF said, citing a nurse in Gaza.
