Almost 430 kids killed in Israeli raids on Gaza...

Around 430 children have been killed in nearly one month of Israeli attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip.

According to latest figures released by Palestinian health officials in Gaza, the Israeli military attacks have claimed 1,867 Palestinian lives so far, while more than 9,500 others have been wounded.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the injured include more than 2,800 children, over 1,800 women, and 374 elderly people.

On Monday, Israel declared a seven-hour ceasefire in some parts of Gaza. However, minutes into the unilateral truce, which started at 10 a.m. (0700 GMT), an Israeli airstrike targeted a house at the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, killing a child.

The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has said the destructive effects of the Israeli onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip are “almost indescribable.” Full story...
