<p>Since October 7, Israeli attacks have killed at least <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024-02-04/ty-article-opinion/.premium/11-500-children-have-been-killed-in-gaza-horror-of-this-scale-has-no-explanation/0000018d-6fe9-d4f1-a18d-fff9c4010000" rel="nofollow noreferrer">11,500</a> children, according to Palestinian officials. According to UNICEF, one Palestinian child killed every 15 minutes. Thousands more are missing under the rubble, most of them presumed dead.</p>
<p>Also, from the ABC:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>More than 1,000 children have lost one or both legs. Save the Children estimates that more than 10 children a day are losing one or both legs. Those having limbs amputated are having it done without anaesthetic.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>UNICEF <a href="https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/number-children-killed-west-bank-including-east-jerusalem-reaches-unprecedented" rel="nofollow noreferrer">reports</a> that there have been 6 Israeli children who have died so far.</p>
<p>Hopefully the figures above give you a sense of the war as it is going on. Clearly, one child death is one too many.</p>
<p>If this concerns you like it concerns me, please contact your local political representatives, and tell them you want there to be an immediate, permanent ceasefire. Thanks for reading</p>
