50 children killed in Gaza in 2 days: UNICEF
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is calling for an investigation after the car of one of the organization's staff members came under fire while she was working on the polio vaccination drive in Jabalia on Saturday. The woman was not injured in the attack.
The organization said the woman's car was believed to have been targeted by a quadcopter drone.
Overall, UNICEF said 50 children have reportedly been killed in Jabalia during the last two days, alone, amid airstrikes targeting residential buildings in North Gaza.
Three children were also reportedly injured in an attack near a clinic participating in the polio vaccination drive on Saturday. The World Health Organization also said it was looking into reports of this attack.
“Taken alongside the horrific level of child deaths in North Gaza from other attacks, these most recent events combine to write yet another dark chapter in one of the darkest periods of this terrible war," UNICEF said in the statement.
The Israeli military has not commented on any of these incidents.
