AT LEAST 74 children have been killed by relentless violence in the Gaza Strip in the first seven days of 2025, the United Nation's children’s fund (Unicef) said today.

Children have been killed in several mass casualty events, including nighttime attacks in Gaza City, Khan Younis, and al-Mawasi, a unilaterally designated “safe zone,” the agency said in a press release today — that didn’t once mention Israel or Hamas.

“The most recent attack, [on Tuesday], saw five children reportedly killed in al-Mawasi,” the statement said.
