UNICEF: Every 10 minutes a child is killed or injured in Gaza

An official of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has announced that every 10 minutes a child is killed or injured in Gaza.

“Children bear a huge share of the scars of this war,” UNICEF communications specialist Tess Ingram said at a press conference in Geneva on Monday.

According to him, more than 12 thousand children have been injured in Gaza since October 7, 2023.”With at least 70 children injured every day, we need to increase the number of medical evacuations so that children can access the care they urgently need,” Ingram said.

“With a child killed or injured every 10 minutes, we need a ceasefire more than anything.

“The UNICEF official added that a lasting ceasefire “is the only way to stop the killing and maiming of children.”
