UNICEF explained in a statement that 143 children have been killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since October 2023, which represents an increase of about 250 percent compared to the previous nine months. UNICEF reported that the first nine months of 2023 witnessed the death of 41 Palestinian children. In the same context, it indicated that more than 440 Palestinian children were injured by live ammunition during the period that followed October 2023, as Israeli attacks escalated in the West Bank and East Jerusalem coinciding with the outbreak of the aggression against Gaza.
