The latest in the war on children and childhood in Gaza.
At least 100 children die of malnutrition and hunger @save_children
This is in addition to:
- Over 40,000 children reported killed or injured due to bombardment and airstrikes @UNICEF
- At least 17,000 unaccompanied and separated children
- ⁠1 million deeply traumatised children and out of education.
Children are children.
No one should stay silent when children die, or are brutally deprived of a future, wherever these children are, including in Gaza.
