UN: One child killed or wounded every 20 minutes in Gaza

More than 50,000 Palestinian children have been killed or wounded since the war on Gaza began in October, according to the United Nations children’s agency, which warned that the scale of suffering is worsening by the day.

Unicef said children are paying the highest price in Israel’s assault, with one child killed or injured every 20 minutes on average.

“Grave violations. Blocked aid. Starvation. Homes, schools, hospitals - destroyed. This is the destruction of childhood. Of life itself. These are children. Not numbers. No child should live through this. Not one more," said Unicef.
