Ricardo Pires, a spokesperson for UNICEF, stated that Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of over 340 children and injuries to hundreds since the "ceasefire" agreement took effect in October 2025. Speaking at a press conference at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Pires noted that attacks on Palestinians are continuing amid the ongoing "blockade" of the Gaza Strip. He added that attacks over the past two weeks have killed five boys and two girls, and seriously injured at least 33 children. Approximately 800,000 children in Gaza are currently displaced, with most living in tents or unsafe structures, and conditions are expected to worsen further in winter.
