Gaza war claims more than 13,000 children, leaves thousands severely malnourished: UNICEF

Israel’s war on Gaza has resulted in the death of over 13,000 children since October 7, while thousands of others are suffering from severe malnutrition, lacking even the energy to cry, says the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

UNICEF says thousands more have been injured or their whereabouts cannot even be determined.

According to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), one in three children under the age of two in northern Gaza is now acutely malnourished.

According to the UN monitors, the aid and assistance delivery faces “very great bureaucratic challenges” as famine stalks more than two million Palestinians since Israel’s war began.
