Israel is killing at least 10 children per day in Lebanon At least 83 children have been killed and 254 injured in Lebanon since 2 March by Israel as it attacks on Lebanon have intensified, the UN children’s agency Unicef said. In a statement released on Monday, Unicef said the recent escalation between Israel and Hezbollah has taken a heavy toll on children across the country. “On average, more than 10 children have been killed every day across Lebanon over the past week, with approximately 36 children injured each day,” the statement published on the Unicef website said. “In the last 28 months, 329 children have reportedly been killed in Lebanon and 1,632 were injured,” it added. The agency warned that the figures highlight the growing humanitarian impact of the conflict. “These figures are staggering. They are a stark testament to the toll that conflict is taking on children,” the statement said. Unicef also reported widespread displacement linked to the violence. “Mass displacement across Lebanon has forced nearly 700,000 people – including around 200,000 children – from their homes, adding to the tens of thousands already uprooted from previous escalations.” “UNICEF urges immediate efforts to de-escalate the situation and prevent further harm to children,” the statement concluded.
