At least 67 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement came into effect last month, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says.
Speaking during a news conference in Geneva, UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said the death toll includes a baby girl killed in an Israeli air strike on a home in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Thursday.
It also includes seven other children killed a day earlier as Israel carried out a wave of attacks across the enclave.
“This is during an agreed ceasefire. The pattern is staggering,” Pires told reporters. “As we have repeated many times, these are not statistics: each was a child with a family, a dream, a life – suddenly cut short by continued violence.”
