AhlulBayt News Agency: Around 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed in the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that started last October, the Government Media Office (GMO) revealed on Sunday.
“Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” said Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s GMO.
He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7, 2023.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since last Oct. 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution a few months ago calling for an immediate cease-fire.
Nearly 41,600 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 96,200 others injured, according to local health authorities.
