The organisation said in a post on X that 15,103 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip, and the war that has been going on for more than seven months.

Karam, 13, Mohammad, 12, and Ibrahim, 14, were used as human shields by Israeli forces in separate incidents during an Israeli military incursion into Tulkarm refugee camp on 6 May, according to documentation collected by the rights group.

The United Nations children’s agency (UNICEF) has condemned as “horrific” the impacts of the ongoing Israeli war against Gaza calling for an end to the “indiscriminate” killing of the children in the besieged strip.

Citing reports from UNICEF, the UN deputy spokesperson, Farhan Haq, at a news conference said a military operation into Rafah “would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe” for the children there.

According to Defence for Children International – Palestine, “the numbers have never been this high. 61 children are currently held by Israeli forces without charge or trial, equivalent to about one in three out of all Palestinian child detainees.”

In a statement, Regional Director of UNICEF, Adele Khodr, said that “in the past 72 three Palestinian children were killed in the latest military operation in Tulkarem in the West Bank and at least another 14 children were reportedly killed in Rafah, Gaza.”

The Director of the World Health Organization has described as ‘heartbreaking’ the situation in Gaza hospitals and renewed calls for protection for all hospitals across the besieged Gaza strip.

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) says the high rate of child fatality in the besieged Gaza will remain a ‘stain on all of humanity’ urging for an end to Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip.

In a video posted on X account, Elder shed light on the plight of children striving to survive in Rafah amid Israeli assaults, following the influx of 1.5 million people into the area as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression.

According to the prisoner advocacy groups, this represents the only available data regarding detained children from Gaza, with the actual number potentially even higher.

The regional director of the UN agency for children in West Asia and North Africa has warned that more Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza are gradually falling victim to starvation amid fears of an ‘impending famine’ caused by Israel’s brutal war in the blockaded territory.

The report, which was issued during the UN body’s 55th session in Geneva,  stressed that Israel violates children’s rights, where Palestinian children living under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are routinely deprived of their right to life, education, adequate housing and the right to health care.

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said that the number of children killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip tops the total number killed in four years of world conflict.

“All children living in the Gaza Strip have lost their childhood,” says Ann Skelton, Chair of the UN Child Rights Committee.

“(Eight-three) children have been killed in the past twelve weeks – more than double the number of children killed in all of 2022, amid increased military and law enforcement operations,” Adele Khodr, the organization’s regional director for Middle East and North Africa said in a statement.

​​​​​​​In a statement on the occasion of World Children's Day, the Arab League stressed that all Palestinian children have the right to live a safe and calm life away from all causes of fear, displacement, and all forms of violence.
