Israeli bombardments of Gaza City are ongoing, leading to significant casualties. The Palestinian Government Media Office reports over 62,000 Palestinians killed since the start of the conflict, including 18,885 children. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warns that no place is safe for children in Gaza due to intensified violence and a humanitarian blockade. UN-run schools, initially shelters, are also targets, further contributing to the death toll. An average of over 540 children have been killed monthly since the renewal of attacks, and the conflict shows no signs of abating.
The staggering toll comes as the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Tuesday that no place is safe for children in the enclave, where Israeli-induced starvation is rife due to Israel's blockading of desperately-needed aid and medical supplies.
UN-run schools have become shelters for hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza amid constant Israeli bombardments that have leveled homes, with Palestinians seeking protection under the UN flag only for the shelters to be targeted.
Since Israel unilaterally shattered a ceasefire deal and resumed attacks, an average of over 540 children have been killed every month, per reports from UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
An assault on Gaza City is increasing despite global warnings urging Israel to cease expanding operations there, with at least 51 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks since dawn on Tuesday.
