At least 67 Palestinian children killed in Gaza since ‘ceasefire’ began: UN

Scores of Innocents Caught in Crossfire: Gaza's Child Toll Mounts Amid Ceasefire

Since a fragile ceasefire agreement took hold last month, at least 67 Palestinian children have lost their lives in the Gaza Strip, according to UNICEF. The devastating toll is a stark reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis gripping the territory.

In one harrowing incident, an Israeli air strike on a home in Khan Younis's southern region killed a baby girl, while seven other children were also slain the day before in another wave of attacks by Israel across the enclave.

"This is during an agreed ceasefire. The pattern is staggering," said Ricardo Pires, a UNICEF spokesperson, describing the death toll since October 11, the first full day of the truce between Israel and Hamas. "Each was a child with a family, a dream, a life – suddenly cut short by continued violence."

Palestinian children have borne the brunt of Israeli bombardment in Gaza, with UNICEF estimating that over 64,000 youngsters have been killed or injured since the war began in October 2023.

The situation is dire, with Save the Children reporting an average of 475 Palestinian children each month suffering lifelong disabilities due to the conflict. In addition, hundreds of thousands of children are living without basic necessities like heating and blankets in makeshift shelters.

Gaza has become home to a record number of child amputees, and the humanitarian crisis is being exacerbated by Israel's use of starvation as a weapon of war, leading to hunger-related deaths among vulnerable children.

The latest wave of Israeli strikes, which killed at least 32 Palestinians, was rejected by Hamas as an escalation aimed at resuming a "genocide" in Gaza. Doctors Without Borders reported treating several Palestinian women and children with severe injuries due to the attacks.

As winter sets in, Gaza's child population is facing a heightened threat multiplier, with many sleeping outdoors and trembling with fear in their makeshift shelters. UNICEF's Pires urged more assistance to be allowed into the territory, warning that the world cannot continue to normalize the suffering of these innocent children.

The scale of this humanitarian crisis demands immediate attention from the international community, as these innocent children are being forced to endure unimaginable hardships and trauma.
 
🤕 It's just heartbreaking to see all those kids caught in the middle of this senseless violence 🌎. I mean, can't we learn from movies like "The Book Thief" where they talk about the impact of war on civilians, especially children? 💔 Every life lost is a tragedy, and it's not fair that these kids have to deal with so much suffering 🤷‍♀️. The fact that 64,000+ young lives have been affected since October 2023 is just staggering 📊. We gotta do more than just talk about it; we need concrete action to help those kids and their families survive the winter 🌡️.
 
Man 🤕, it's just too much 😩. I was watching a doc on YouTube about Gaza, it said that kids were playing with toys made out of rubble, like they didn't have anything better to do... It breaks my heart ❤️. How can Israel keep bombing these innocent civilians? The UN is saying that starvation is being used as a weapon, which is just barbaric 🤯. I mean, what's the point of all this violence? Can't we just talk it out and find some peace? 😔

I remember when I was a kid, we had games and sports to play, not bomb shelters and makeshift hospitals... It's like we're living in a different world now 🌎. And these kids, they don't deserve all this suffering. They're just trying to grow up and have some fun, but nope, their lives get cut short by violence 🔫. It's just not right 👊.

We gotta do something about this, like, NOW 💥. I'm tired of hearing about wars and violence and innocent civilians getting hurt... Can't we just be kind to each other? 🤝
 
😔🌟 I mean, it's super heartbreaking to think about all those little lives lost in Gaza. But, you know what? The fact that we're even talking about this and trying to make a difference is kinda amazing 🙏. I know it sounds weird, but with all the bad news out there, it's easy to get discouraged. But, honestly, every time I see something like this, I'm reminded of how much we need to take care of our planet and its people 🌎💖.

And, let's be real, it's not all doom and gloom. There are some amazing organizations out there doing incredible work to help these kids, like UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders 💪. It's giving me hope for the future! We might not have solved this problem yet, but I believe that with enough people caring and working together, we can make a difference 🌈💫.

We need to keep supporting each other and our organizations that are fighting for these kids' rights 🤝. And, let's not forget to take care of ourselves too 😊. Winter is coming, and those kids in Gaza need our love and support more than ever ❤️.
 
💔 I'm completely blown away by the numbers - 67 Palestinian kids already lost their lives in Gaza since the ceasefire... it's just unacceptable 🤯. And the stats on lifelong disabilities? Forget about it, it's a nightmare for families and communities. It feels like Israel's actions are having a devastating impact on children who can't even begin to comprehend what's happening around them 🌎.

I'm also really concerned about the makeshift shelters they're being forced into with no basic necessities. Children should be enjoying warmth and comfort, not shivering in the cold with nowhere to go 😕. It's just heartbreaking to think about all these innocent kids living through this trauma. We need to do more to support UNICEF's efforts and get aid into Gaza ASAP 🚨. The international community can't just turn a blind eye to this crisis - we have to act now to make sure no more children are caught in the crossfire 💖.
 
Ugh 🤕 my heart is breaking for those kids in Gaza I cant even imagine how scared they must be right now with all the bombing and violence going on its like a never ending nightmare 💔. We gotta do something to help them, like, ASAP 🚀 we can't just sit back and watch them suffer 😢. They deserve so much better than this 💖
 
🤕😱 67 kids lost their lives in Gaza since the ceasefire? That's just heartbreaking 🤠💔. These babies were born after the conflicts started & already have so much suffering on their shoulders 😩. We gotta do more, like send aid ASAP to help them get the basic necessities 👶. Israel needs to stop using starvation as a weapon of war 💣. Our world can't just sit back & watch these kids suffer 🌎. Let's raise awareness & make a change ❤️.
 
come on, how many times do we have to see this before it sinks in? 67 kids dead since the "ceasefire" started... it's like we're stuck in some kind of bad dream 🤯 and nobody wants to wake up. I mean, who needs a ceasefire when you can just keep bombing and killing innocent civilians? it's not like they're asking for it or anything... 🙄

and can we talk about the "starvation as a weapon of war" thing for a sec? that's literally a new low in human decency... I mean, what's next? using poverty as a tool to control people's minds? 🤔

anyway, back to these poor kids... it's heartbreaking to think that they're living without basic necessities like heating and blankets. can we please just step up the humanitarian aid game already? 🚨 these little ones deserve better than to be treated like guinea pigs in a war zone
 
😱 67 kids can't just keep dying like this... it's not fair! 💔 They're just trying to survive in a place that feels like war zone already. What's going on with the ceasefire? It's supposed to be helping, but instead it's killing more people 🤯. These little ones don't deserve to lose their lives over something bigger than themselves... they should be playing outside without fear 😔. We need to do better, we can't just sit back and watch this happen 🙏. The world is supposed to care about these innocent kids, but it feels like no one's listening 🗣️. It's a cry for help, plain and simple... we have to act! 💪

🤕 67 child lives lost in one month is just too much. We need more help getting into Gaza ASAP 🚨. These kids shouldn't have to be fighting for basic human rights.

🤕 its devastating to think about 67 kids dying in just one month since ceasefire 🌫️ the situation is getting worst with 64k+ kids killed or injured since october 2023 😩 i feel like we r ignoring the fact that these children dont have basic necessities like heating & blankets in shelters 🛋️ its time for us to take action & make sure that more assistance gets into gaza ASAP 💪
 
🤕 it's just heartbreaking to think about all those kids caught in the middle of this violence 🌪️. 67 is a huge number and i feel like we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg 📉. how can we expect any kind of peace when our actions (or lack thereof) aren't making things better? 💔 it's not just about ceasefire agreements or international pressure, it's about taking real action to prevent these kinds of tragedies from happening in the first place 🤝. and the fact that hundreds of thousands of kids are living without basic necessities is just devastating 😩. we need to do more, like a LOT more 💪.
 
It's just heartbreaking 🤕 to see all those kids caught in the middle of this conflict. The numbers are insane - 64k+ youngsters killed or injured since October '23? That's like a war crime, imo 😩. And it's not just physical injuries, but mental trauma too... these poor kids can't even get basic necessities like blankets and heating in their shelters 🤯. Can we just put our hands together for Gaza's kids and demand some action from the world leaders? ⚡👫
 
It's heartbreaking to see all those innocent kids caught in the crossfire 🤕🚨. The numbers are just staggering - 67 kids losing their lives already, and it's only been a month since the ceasefire agreement 🤯. It's like Israel is playing a cruel game of war with civilians, especially kids who should be safe at home 👧. I mean, what's wrong with using humanitarian aid as leverage instead of resorting to violence? 💸 The situation is dire, and we need to do something about it ASAP! 🚨 #GazaUnderAttack #ChildRightsMatter #StopTheViolence
 
It's absolutely heartbreaking to see Gaza's child toll mounting like this 🤕. I mean, 67 kids lost in just a month under a ceasefire? It's like we're living in a nightmare. The fact that UNICEF is saying these kids were just going about their daily lives when suddenly they got caught up in the crossfire is just devastating.

And it's not just the number of casualties that's the problem, it's the fact that we're seeing whole families being torn apart 🤯. I mean, a baby girl and seven other kids killed in one incident alone? It's just... no words. And then you read about all these children living without basic necessities like heating and blankets in makeshift shelters... it's just heartbreaking.

I think what's really worrying is that the situation is only going to get worse as winter sets in ❄️. I mean, kids are already having to sleep outdoors with no warmth or protection from the elements? It's a recipe for disaster. And then there's the issue of starvation being used as a weapon of war... it's just not right.

We need to do more to help these innocent children 🤝. The international community needs to step up and provide more assistance to Gaza, ASAP. These kids are living in one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, and we can't just stand by and watch while they suffer 😢.
 
omg this is so heartbreaking 🤯🌟 67 kids already lost their lives since the ceasefire agreement last month?! it's like israel is intentionally targeting them #JusticeForGazaKids 😭 64,000+ youngsters injured or killed since october 2023... that's a total of 0 accountability from israel on these crimes against humanity 🤷‍♀️ the international community needs to step up and help these innocent kids ASAP 🚨💖
 
I'm so confused about all this 🤯... 67 kids lost in just a month since the ceasefire? That's insane! 💥 How can an agreed ceasefire lead to more deaths? The numbers from UNICEF are staggering, but how do we know they're accurate? We need to see some sources on this one 📊. Gaza is already struggling with basic necessities like heating and blankets, and now hundreds of thousands of kids are living in harsh conditions without any support 🤕. What's being done about it? The fact that Israel's using starvation as a weapon of war is just unacceptable 🚫. We need more transparency on this one. And what's the deal with Hamas saying it's an escalation to resume a genocide? That sounds super suspicious 🔮. I'm not buying it without some solid evidence 👀.
