Child death toll reaches 300 after 300 days of Gaza war

Shafaqna Pakistan: At least 300 children have reportedly been killed in Gaza during the 300 days since the ceasefire agreement took effect, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Thursday.

UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Edouard Beigbeder, said a ceasefire under which an average of one child is killed each day is failing to protect children and underscored the urgent need for stronger measures to safeguard civilians.
