UNICEF reported that at least 82 children have been killed in Gaza since the October 10 ceasefire took effect, calling it a "staggering pattern" of violence that must stop.
Gaza's media office reports at least 386 people killed and 980 injured by Israeli army fire since the truce, while the UN human rights office documented over 350 attacks near the so-called "yellow line" resulting in at least 121 Palestinian deaths including seven women and 30 children. Israel continues to impose strict restrictions on aid truck entry despite the ceasefire, while overall casualties since October 2023 exceed 70,000 killed and 171,000 injured, mostly women and children.
