UNICEF reports 300 child deaths in Gaza in 300 days since ceasefire

At least 300 children have died in Gaza in the 300 days since the October 2025 ceasefire agreement, according to UNICEF, which says the truce is failing to protect them. The deaths average one child per day despite the deal's provisions to halt military operations and allow full humanitarian aid. Many other children have been seriously injured, and displaced families face malnutrition, disease, and unsafe water in cramped conditions. UNICEF welcomed a newly announced roadmap for the ceasefire's next phase and urged all parties to uphold international law, ensuring children receive protection, aid, healthcare, education, safe water, and food.
