Gaza's Children Caught in the Crossfire: Unending Suffering and Devastation

More than 6,600 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7, with thousands more missing under the rubble. The resumption of the war has made Gaza the most dangerous place in the world for children, according to the executive director of UNICEF. About half of Gaza's population is below the age of 18, and many Palestinian minors have experienced multiple Israeli assaults, leading to high levels of anxiety and potential depression. The number of affected children is expected to rise exponentially due to the recent conflict.
