UNICEF highlights the “horrific violence” against children in Palestine’s West Bank, where 143 have been killed since the outbreak of the war in Gaza,A new press release from UNICEF, the UN Children’s charity, has stressed that child casualties in Palestine’s West Bank have risen by almost 250% since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October last year.
The Gaza Strip and the West Bank are the two halves of what the Vatican – together with a majority of the world’s countries – recognises as the State of Palestine.The UN statement notes that 143 children have been killed in the West Bank – including East Jerusalem – since October 2023, an increase of nearly 250 per cent compared to the previous nine months, during which 41 Palestinian children were killed.
“We are seeing frequent allegations of Palestinian children being detained on their way home from school,” she said, “or shot while walking on the streets. The violence needs to stop now.” Back in May, a UN report put the number of confirmed child deaths at 7,797, and said that, of the fully identified fatalities in the Strip, 52% were women and children.Pope Francis has been calling for a ceasefire in Gaza since October 27, 2023, longer than almost any other world leader.
