UNICEF: 300 Children Died in 300 Days in Gaza

CROSSFIREARABIA – UNICEF stated that no less than 300 children were killed in the Gaza Strip during the past 300 days when a ceasefire was declared on 10 October, 2025. It warned of more victims amongst children being killed despite promises to stop attacks.  “A ceasefire that leaves, on average, one dead child every day simply fails the children. Children have heard promises before. This time, the agreements must be translated into action,” said Edward Beigbeder, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
