Over 13K children killed in Gaza war since Oct 7, says UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has announced that more than 13,000 Palestinian children were killed and thousands more were injured during the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

On Sunday, March 17, UNICEF executive director Catherine Russell told the



American CBS network that in addition to the children killed in Gaza, many others are missing.

“Thousands more have been injured or we can’t even determine where they are. They may be stuck under rubble… We haven’t seen that rate of death among children in almost any other conflict in the world.”
