Ceasefire period sees more than 340 children killed in Gaza
UNICEF says more than 340 children were reported killed and hundreds injured since the ceasefire agreement was announced.
What happened
More than one year after a ceasefire agreement was announced between Hamas fighters and Israel, over 340 children have reportedly been killed and hundreds more injured, UNICEF said on Friday. The figures cover the period since the agreement’s announcement and were provided by the UN children’s agency.
Why it matters
The reported toll shows that the ceasefire period has still involved severe harm to children, with deaths and injuries continuing after the agreement was announced.
