The figures were in addition to an earlier UNICEF statement that said “hundreds and hundreds” of children had been affected and that the number was growing by the hour. UNICEF officials emphasized the gravity of the situation, describing children with severe burns, mortar wounds and lost limbs. Hospitals are reportedly overcrowded due to the influx of injured children. UNICEF also called for the immediate and safe return of Israeli children held in Gaza to their families.
