Aljazeera – One Palestinian child has been killed every day on average for more than eight months in Gaza since a so-called “ceasefire” with Israel was announced, the United Nations children’s agency says.

UNICEF describes the truce as a “cruel and deadly illusion” as Israel continues to attack the besieged enclave.

Israeli forces have killed at least 265 Palestinian children since October 2025, when the halt in hostilities was declared, UNICEF said on Friday.
