On Friday, UNICEF warned that children in Gaza are dying at an “unprecedented rate” due to famine and rapidly deteriorating conditions caused by Israel’s war. The World Food Program (WFP) estimates that one in four Palestinians in Gaza faces famine-like conditions, with around 100,000 women and children suffering from acute malnutrition.
Since March 18, 2025, when Israel resumed its attacks after breaking a ceasefire agreement, 9,519 people have been killed and 38,630 injured. []
