Gaza (Quds News Network)- At least 45 Palestinian children have been killed over the past two days in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to UNICEF, amid ongoing and relentless bombardment.
“The reported killing of at least 45 children in the Gaza Strip in the last two days is yet another devastating reminder that children in Gaza are suffering first and foremost, having to starve day after day only to be victims of indiscriminate attacks,” the agency said in a statement.
It added that over 950 children were killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip in just the past two months and stressed that the “daily suffering and killing of children must end immediately”.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry on Saturday, 153 people were killed in the past 24 hours. This brings the death toll from Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza since October 2023 to 35,272, with 120,673 wounded—most of them women and children.
The current wave of Israeli attacks is one of the most intense since Israel violated the January ceasefire agreement and resumed bombing Gaza nearly two months ago.
At least 10,000 more people are missing and presumed dead, while nearly 120,000 have been wounded.
