More than 17,000 Palestinian children were killed since Israel begun its onslaught on Gaza soon after 7 October, 2023. The killing mounted as the days, weeks and months went by.
The latest number, which is trending on the social media, has increased in the light of the mass bombs dropped by Israeli warplanes, tanks and from the sea on the different areas of the Gaza Strip.
The latest figure, highlighted Sunday, was given the Government Media Office in Gaza, which carefully monitors the statistics of those that are being killed although its officials have previously the number could be much higher because of those people that are still under the wreckage which is estimated at more than 10,000.
“Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu.
He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since 7 October, 2023.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas last Oct. 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
Nearly 41,600 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 96,200 others injured, according to local health authorities.
