Since October 7, Israeli attacks have killed at least 11,500 children, according to Palestinian officials. According to UNICEF, one Palestinian child killed every 15 minutes. Thousands more are missing under the rubble, most of them presumed dead.

Also, from the ABC:

More than 1,000 children have lost one or both legs. Save the Children estimates that more than 10 children a day are losing one or both legs. Those having limbs amputated are having it done without anaesthetic.

UNICEF reports that there have been 6 Israeli children who have died so far.

Hopefully the figures above give you a sense of the war as it is going on. Clearly, one child death is one too many.

If this concerns you like it concerns me, please contact your local political representatives, and tell them you want there to be an immediate, permanent ceasefire. Thanks for reading
