“On average, more than 10 children have been killed every day across Lebanon over the past week, with approximately 36 children injured each day,” the statement published on the UNICEF website said on Monday.
“In the last 28 months, 329 children have reportedly been killed in Lebanon and 1,632 were injured,” it added.
“These figures are staggering. They are a stark testament to the toll that conflict is taking on children,” the agency said.
The agency called on all parties to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, including schools and shelters, and to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law.
