An average of 160 children are killed each day in the besieged Gaza Strip as a result of the Israel-Hamas war. “The level of death and suffering is hard to fathom,” says WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier. The war between Israel and Hamas has entered its 32nd day. Hamas’s 7 October attack on southern Israel has killed at least 1,400 people according to Israeli officials. The Hamas-run health ministry says retaliatory Israeli strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip have since killed at least 10,000 people.
