The latest in the war on children and childhood in Gaza.

At least 100 children die of malnutrition and hunger according to Save the Children.

This is in addition to:

• Over 40,000 children reported killed or injured due to bombardment and airstrikes according to UNICEF.
• At least 17,000 unaccompanied and separated children.
• ⁠1 million deeply traumatised children and out of education.

Children are children.

No one should stay silent when children die, or are brutally deprived of a future, wherever these children are, including in Gaza.
