A spokesman for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Palestine, Kazem Abu Khalaf, said that 27 children have been killed daily in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war in October 2023.
Abu Khalaf added in an intervention with Al -Jazeera on Friday that there is no explanation for the excessive killing in the Gaza Strip.
He added that more than 5,000 children in Gaza entered the circle of malnutrition in May only.
According to official statistics published by the Government Media Office in Gaza in cooperation with UNICEF and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs “OCHA”, more than 18,000 children have been martyred since the aggression began on Gaza.
Last month, the Government Information Office reported that 66 children were martyred due to malnutrition in light of the blockade imposed by the occupation forces on the Gaza Strip, as it prevents the entry of basic requirements, including infant formula.
