UNICEF: 260 Children Killed in Gaza

UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said that more than 260 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire began in October 2025, describing the truce as “a cruel and deadly illusion”.

Elder added that the territory is living “under a so called ceasefire,” noting that an average of one child is killed every day despite the truce being in place.

He explained that Gaza’s children “appear to be constantly unwell,” stressing that although the risk of famine has declined, the food aid entering the enclave remains insufficient in both quantity and quality.

    Artist Said Elatab writes:

    This painting is dedicated to the memory of Naji al-Ali, the prominent Palestinian cartoonist and artist whose work gave voice to the struggles and hopes of the Palestinian people. He was shot by an unknown gunman in London in 1987 and later died from his injuries.

    Guernica of Gaza

    Said Elatab writes:

    My painting, “Guernica of Gaza,” is inspired by Picasso’s Guernica. Picasso’s painting responded to the bombing of Guernica, Spain. In my view, the suffering, destruction, and human tragedy portrayed in Guernica are reflected in the war in Gaza today. Through my own abstract expressionist style, I express grief for civilians and call for humanity, justice, and peace.
