The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has declared the Gaza Strip as the most dangerous place in the world for children. UNICEF's Executive Director, Catherine Russell, reported that over 5,300 Palestinian children have been killed since October 7. The UN's Humanitarian Coordinator described the situation in Gaza as a complete massacre. The UN Relief Chief also expressed shock at the high percentage of women and children among the casualties, calling it complete and utter carnage. The Gaza Strip's high child death toll is attributed to its youthful demography, making it one of the youngest places on Earth.

About the death and destruction in Gaza: โThe worst ever. And I donโt say that lightly. 68% of the people killed in Gaza are women and children. No, I donโt think I have seen anything like this before. Itโs complete and utter carnage.โ โUN Relief Chief https://t.co/BwYFB0nCTk
