 More than 2,100 children have been killed or injured, including 206 children killed in Iran and 118 in Lebanon, four children killed in Israel and one in Kuwait, over 23 days of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. "These are reported figures, and they are expected to rise as the violence continues. That is an average of approximately 87 children either killed or injured every day since the beginning of the war," according to remarks by UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban. "Children across the region are paying a devastating price. A further descent into a wider or protracted conflict would be catastrophic for millions more," he said |
