Israeli strikes have killed nearly 100 Palestinian children a day in Gaza since the war started
Today, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced that the number of victims of the Israeli attacks had risen to 30,320 dead and 71,533 wounded since October 7, 2023. And two days after the Flour Massacre, CNN releases a report stating that Israel has been killing Palestinian children at a rate of 100 per day. Reporting by NGOs and UN agencies confirm this high number of children killed in Gaza. The revelation about children dying in Gaza comes days after UN rapporteurs expressed "grave concern" over reports of cases of sexual violence and abuse of Palestinian women and girls at the hands of Israeli officers.
Israeli attacks in Gaza have now reached a grim new milestone: more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Ministry of Health. At least 8,000 of those are women and about 12,550 are children, the ministry added. On average, Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed almost 90 children per day since the war started, according to CNN calculations based on figures from the Ministry of Health.

As many as 17,000 children in Gaza are unaccompanied by or separated from their parents, UNICEF said in February — about 1% of the total displaced population. Children whose parents have been killed by Israeli bombardment – or who have been separated from their guardians – are forced to take on the role of parenting younger siblings.
