UNICEF Says One Child Killed per Day in Gaza Since ‘Ceasefire’
UNICEF said ceasefire-era violence has killed or injured hundreds of children and left families facing malnutrition, disease and restricted aid access.
- UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Edouard Beigbeder, declared the ceasefire failing, as at least 300 children have been killed in Gaza during the 300 days since the October 10, 2025 agreement.
- Ongoing military operations near the 'Yellow Line' and airstrikes continue disrupting civilian life, with the UN aid coordination office, OCHA, reporting 1,209 people killed and 3,943 injured since the ceasefire began.
- On Tuesday, UNICEF delivered more than 600 pallets of recreational kits and soap into Gaza, yet spokesperson Louise Wateridge described hospitals lacking incubators where newborns share machines.
- Families are confined to approximately one third of the Strip, sheltering among rubble, as aid agencies improved 3,000 makeshift shelters in Gaza City last week and distributed items to 9,000 households.
- Despite reports of a US-led peace plan, the United Nations continues pressing for scaled-up humanitarian access, insisting timber, tools, and lights must enter Gaza to support basic survival and shelter repairs.
