3,195 children killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza; 1,000 buried under rubble: NGO

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has taken an unprecedented toll on children in particular.

Save the Children’s analysis of the numbers reveals a particularly harrowing fact – the number of children killed in Gaza since October 7, 3,195, is higher than the total number of children killed in conflicts around the world annually since 2019.

And the number is likely to be higher – with 1,000 children also reporting missing, and most likely buried under the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli bombing.
