The UN children’s agency, UNICEF, reported on Tuesday that more than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the October ceasefire, including victims of drone and quadcopter attacks.
“More than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire of early October,” UNICEF spokesperson James Elder told reporters at a UN briefing via video link from Gaza.
“Survival remains conditional. While the bombings and shootings have slowed during the ceasefire, they have not stopped,” he added.
Nearly all of the deaths—comprising 60 boys and 40 girls—resulted from Israeli military attacks, including airstrikes, drone strikes, tank shelling, gunfire, and quadcopters, with a few caused by unexploded war remnants, Elder said.
He noted that the tally is likely an underestimate, as it only accounts for deaths for which sufficient information was available.
