UNICEF urges truce as disease threatens to kill more children in Gaza

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 7,700 children, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 7,700 children, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

UNICEF’s spokesperson James Elder said on X, “Without sufficient safe water, food, and sanitation that only a humanitarian ceasefire can bring – child deaths due to disease could surpass those killed in bombardments.”

Israel started its military aggression against Gaza on October 7 following an operation by the territory's resistance groups, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm: at least 19,667 people, more than 7,700 children.
