4,710 Children Martyred Since the Start of the War on Gaza
This Israeli airstrike resulted in the martyrdom of more than 15 individuals, some of whom could be retrieved, while others remained trapped under the rubble, making their rescue impossible.
Since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza, the death toll has surged to 11,500, including 4,710 children and 3,160 women, with 29,800 individuals injured. The Ministry of Health in Gaza has faced significant challenges in updating casualty figures due to the breakdown of services and communication in northern hospitals over the past four days.
Gaza’s Child Casualties Surpass Global Rates
The number of child casualties in Gaza surpasses those in armed conflicts across 22 countries in any given year since 2020. Children under the age of 15 constitute 55.7% of Gaza’s population, totaling over two million people.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, informed the United Nations Security Council that a child in Gaza is killed every 10 minutes on average.
