Israeli attacks kill 200 children in Lebanon since March 2: UNICEF

At least 200 children have been killed in Lebanon as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks on the country since March 2, UNICEF said Thursday.

“Children in Lebanon continue to be at the sharp end of ongoing violence, displacement and exposure to traumatic events,” the UN organization said in a statement.

UNICEF said at least 59 children were killed or injured in Lebanon during the past week despite a ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since April 17.

According to the organization, 23 children have been killed and 93 others injured since April 17, describing the figures as “a stark reminder of the ongoing risks children continue to face.”

The agency said the overall toll among children since March 2 has reached 200 killed and 806 injured, equivalent to nearly 14 children killed or wounded every day.
