Geneva: The one million children in Gaza are living a "hell on Earth", the UN said Friday, with around 40 children having been killed there every day over the past year.
More than a year into Israel's aggression on the besieged Palestinian territory "children continue to suffer unspeakable daily harm", said James Elder, spokesman for the United Nations children's agency UNICEF.
"Gaza is the real-world embodiment of hell on Earth for its one million children," he told reporters in Geneva. "And it's getting worse, day by day."
Since October 7, "conservative" estimates put the death toll among children in Gaza at over 14,100, Elder said.
That means that "on a conservative measure, around 35 to 40 girls and boys are killed every day in Gaza, since October 7", he said.
