The Gaza Government Media Office issued a report on Monday stating that the lives of more than 3,500 children are currently at risk due to the ongoing “Israeli” aggression on the Strip.

The office emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive treatment to address the systemic challenges imposed on Gaza's children by the Israeli Occupation.

Since October 7, the war’s toll on children has been staggering, with 15,438 children killed and hundreds of thousands more left injured.

One statistic reveals that 17,000 children now live without one or both parents due to the relentless aggression perpetrated by the Israeli Occupation.

The “Israeli” aggression on Gaza has entered its 241st day, with the death toll rising to 36,439 and 82,627 injured – according to the latest numbers released Sunday by the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
