UNICEF: Over 50,000 children martyred in Israeli war on Gaza
Geneva - Saba: The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) stated that the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 50,000 Palestinian children since October 7, 2023. "In just 72 hours last week, images from two horrific Israeli attacks in Gaza provided further evidence of the devastating cost of this brutal war on children," said Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, in a statement published by the UN agency on its website on Wednesday. He added, "On Friday, we saw videos of the burned and dismembered bodies of children from the al-Najjar family being pulled from the rubble of their home in Khan Younis," in the southern Gaza Strip. The UN official continued, "Of 10 siblings under the age of 12, only one child was reported to have survived with serious injuries." He explained, "Early Monday morning, we saw images of a little girl trapped in a burning school in Gaza City. This attack, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, reportedly killed at least 31 people, including 18 children." UNICEF said, "Since the ceasefire ended on March 18, 1,309 children have been killed and 3,738 others injured. In total, more than 50,000 children have been killed or injured since October 2023." The UNICEF Regional Director asked, "How many more girls and boys must be killed? What level of horror must be broadcast live before the international community fully intervenes, uses its influence, and takes bold and decisive action to force an end to this merciless killing of children?" "These children are lives that should never be reduced to numbers. They are now part of a long and horrific list of unimaginable horrors: grave violations against children, the blockade of aid, starvation, ongoing forced displacement, and the destruction of hospitals, water systems, schools, and homes. In short, the destruction of life itself in the Gaza Strip," he added. UNICEF urged "all parties to the conflict to end the violence, protect civilians, including children, respect international humanitarian law and human rights law, allow immediate access to humanitarian aid, and release all hostages."

Israeli strikes on Gaza kill at least 38 people including children
Further details also emerged of the local doctor who lost nine of her 10 children in an Israeli strike on Friday AP Deir Al-Balah (Gaza Strip) Israeli strikes over the past 24 hours killed at least 38 people in Gaza, including a mother and her two children sheltering in a tent, local health officials said Sunday, with no data available for a second straight day from now-inaccessible hospitals in the north. Further details also emerged of the local doctor who lost nine of her 10 children in an Israeli strike on Friday. Gaza's Health Ministry said 3,785 people have been killed in the territory since Israel ended a ceasefire and renewed its offensive in March, vowing to destroy Hamas and return the 58 hostages it still holds from the October 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war. Israel also blocked the import of all food, medicine and fuel for 2 1/2 months before letting a trickle of aid enter last week after experts' warnings of famine and pressure from some of Israel's top allies. Israel has been pursuing a new plan to tightly control all aid to Gaza, which the United Nations has rejected. Israel also says it plans to seize full control of Gaza and facilitate what it describes as the voluntary migration of much of its population of over 2 million Palestinians, a plan rejected by Palestinians and much of the international community. Experts say it would likely violate international law. The new strike on the tent housing displaced people that killed the mother and children occurred in the central city of Deir al-Balah, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. A strike in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza killed at least five, including two women and a child, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Only one of paediatrician Alaa al-Najjar's 10 children survived the Israeli strike on their home Friday near the southern city of Khan Younis. Both the 11-year-old and al-Najjar's husband, also a doctor, were badly hurt. The charred remains of the other children were brought to the morgue in a single body bag, said a fellow paediatrician at Nasser Hospital, Alaa al-Zayan. The home was struck minutes after Hamdi al-Najjar had driven his wife to the hospital. His brother, Ismail al-Najjar, was the first to arrive at the scene. They were innocent children," the brother said, with the youngest 7 months old. "And my brother has no business with (Palestinian) factions. Israel on Saturday said, The claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review." It says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames Hamas for their deaths because it operates in densely populated areas. There was no immediate comment from the military on the latest strikes. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the October 7 attack and abducted 251 people. Around a third of the remaining hostages are believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's 19-month offensive has killed over 53,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which says women and children make up most of the dead. It does not provide figures for the number of civilians or combatants killed. The offensive has destroyed vast areas of Gaza and displaced around 90% of the territory's population, often multiple times. A missile from the Houthis Separately, Israel's military said it intercepted a missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday. It triggered air raid sirens in Jerusalem and other areas. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. The Iran-backed Houthis have launched repeated missile attacks targeting Israel as well as international shipping in the Red Sea, portraying it as a response to Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Most of the targeted ships had no relation to Israel or the conflict. The United States halted a punishing bombing campaign against the Houthis earlier this month, saying the rebels had pledged to stop attacking ships. That informal ceasefire did not include attacks on Israel.
