Israel continues to kill an average of two children per day in the Gaza 
Strip despite the ceasefire that took effect on 11 October, the UN 
Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Friday.

Ricardo Pires, UNICEF spokesperson, told reporters during his weekly 
press briefing at the United Nations office in Geneva that the death of 
a young girl in an Israeli strike on Khan Yunis on Thursday, along with 
the killing of seven children a day earlier in Gaza City, shows that the 
ceasefire has not ended children’s suffering.

He said at least 67 children have been killed since the ceasefire began, 
in addition to dozens who have been wounded.

“These figures are not just numbers, they are children with families and 
dreams,” Pires stressed, describing the conditions facing Gaza’s 
children as “forced, bleak, and devoid of any safe place.” He urged the 
international community to stop normalizing their ongoing suffering.

Pires added that UNICEF’s extensive operations in Gaza remain 
insufficient to meet the scale of the crisis. “If aid arrived with the 
speed and volume required, we could do far more to save lives,” he said.

According to UNICEF, hundreds of thousands of children are living in 
tents with no basic protection, facing harsh winter conditions without 
heating, insulation, or blankets, conditions that severely worsen their 
humanitarian situation and expose them to cold and disease.
