UN officials continue to call attention to the plight of children in Gaza. Reportedly more than 3,450 children have been killed in Gaza according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) spokesperson James Elder told reporters in Geneva on Oct. 31, according to a UN News story. Another 1,000 children have been reported missing and may be trapped or dead under the rubble, awaiting rescue or recovery, said the UN Humanitarian Affairs Coordination Office (OCHA).
OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said that it is “almost unbearable to think about children buried under rubble with very little possibility for getting them out.”
