The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced on Tuesday that more than 200 children have been killed in Lebanon in nearly two months since the start of the Israeli occupation escalation, at a rate of more than three children per day.

“Despite the large number of children who have lost their lives in such a short period of time, there is a worrying trend of indifference to these deaths by parties capable of de-escalating the situation,” said James Elder, a spokesman for the organization, in a press statement.

"We must all strive to ensure that humanity never again witnesses such a massacre of children as happened previously in the Gaza Strip, and what is unacceptable should not become acceptable," Elder added.

He called for immediate action to stop targeting children and ensure their protection in times of conflict.
