Gaza Ministry of Health: 10,000 children killed in Gaza since October 7

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 10,000 children have been killed by airstrikes and Israeli ground operations in Gaza in almost 100 days of conflict, with thousands more apparently missing under the rubble, Save the Children announced today. ”, according to which 1% of the enclave's total child population has been killed since October 7.

"And the children who survived the violence are enduring unspeakable horrors, including injuries, burns, disease, inadequate medical care and the loss of parents and other loved ones," she added.

"Children in Gaza have been forced to flee violence, often repeatedly, without a safe place to go and face the terror of an uncertain future," the organization wrote in a statement.

"Over 40% of the people killed in Gaza since the start of the attack against Israel and the escalation of violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories on October 7 are children," says Save the Children.

"For every day that passes without a ceasefire, an average of 100 children are killed," said Jason Lee, Save the Children's director for the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

"There can never be any justification for killing children. The situation in Gaza is monstrous and represents a plague... And despite the record number of children killed and maimed, the international community continues to fail to act," he stressed.
