In the past 48 hours, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed over a dozen Palestinian children, including 11-year-old influencer Yaqeen Hammad, known for her humanitarian work. The attacks also claimed the lives of nine of Dr. Alaa Amir al-Najjar’s ten children; the sole survivor, 11-year-old Adam, remains in critical condition. Additionally, four-year-old Mohammed Yassine died from starvation amid a worsening humanitarian crisis, with over 70,000 children facing acute malnutrition due to Israel's blockade. Children constitute 31% of the confirmed Palestinian deaths in Israel’s 19-month war on Gaza, a figure likely underreported. The UN highlights Israel's disproportionate violence against children, exacerbated by repeated air raids on residential areas. (PC: Al Jazeera)
