UNICEF: More Than 340 Children Killed in Gaza Since Ceasefire Began
\n——————————————–
\nUNICEF has reported that Israeli forces have killed more than 340 children and injured hundreds of others in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, as humanitarian conditions remain dire across the territory.<\/p>\n
UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said seven children were killed and at least 33 seriously injured during attacks over the past two weeks. Around 800,000 children remain displaced, many living in tents or damaged buildings, while an estimated 60,000 have lost one or both parents.<\/p>\n
Although the ceasefire has brought limited improvements in food security, essential services remain disrupted and humanitarian funding falls far short of growing needs. UNICEF said more than 560,000 children have returned to some form of education since the truce began, including through over 200 learning centres supported by the agency.<\/p>\n
Separately, the World Health Organization confirmed that a medical evacuation from Gaza took place on October 12, reaffirming the UN\u2019s commitment to helping patients access specialist treatment unavailable inside the territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
