"Gaza War Claims More Child Lives Than Global Conflict in 4 Years"

More children have died in the Palestinian territories during the past five months of war than in all armed conflicts worldwide over the past four years, with an estimated 13,500 children among the 31,000 people killed in Gaza since the conflict began. The ongoing Israeli offensive has displaced most of the territory’s 2.3 million Palestinians, leading to a humanitarian crisis with approximately 576,000 people at risk of famine. The stark figures have drawn international condemnation and calls for an immediate cease-fire, as the U.N. warns of a tragedy unfolding in Gaza.
