At least 83 children have been killed and 254 others injured in Lebanon over the past seven days amid ongoing clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera reported that in a statement published on Monday on UNICEF’s website, the agency warned that more than 10 children are being killed and around 36 injured every day across Lebanon due to the escalating violence.
The statement also noted that over the past 28 months, a total of 329 children have been killed and 1,632 injured in the country.
UNICEF described the figures as deeply alarming, highlighting the devastating impact of the conflict on children. The agency also said that widespread displacement has forced around 700,000 people from their homes, including nearly 200,000 children.
UNICEF stressed that urgent efforts are needed to de-escalate the situation to prevent further harm to children.
