According to a report released by UNICEF on Friday, over 340 Palestinian children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since a ceasefire was announced approximately one year ago. The agency noted that the term "ceasefire" does not reflect the reality on the ground, given the ongoing violence and the continued loss of life among the youth population.

In the two weeks preceding the report, UNICEF documented the deaths of seven children—five boys and two girls—as a result of Israeli air strikes, drone strikes, and gunfire. Additionally, at least 33 children sustained serious injuries during this period, and two boys succumbed to wounds sustained in earlier incidents. UNICEF spokespeople emphasized that these figures contradict the typical understanding of a ceasefire, as military operations have persisted throughout the region.

While the report provides specific data regarding the casualties, it focuses primarily on the humanitarian impact on children. The information relies on data collected by the UN agency, which continues to monitor the situation across the Gaza Strip. The report underscores the ongoing danger faced by civilians in the area despite diplomatic efforts to establish a cessation of hostilities.
