UNICEF reported at least 300 children killed in Gaza in 300 days since the October ceasefire, saying it is failing children. Gazan health authorities report 1,209 deaths and 3,943 injuries since October 10. Families are confined to about a third of the Strip amid airstrikes; UNICEF cites acute malnutrition, unsafe water, premature births, and babies sharing incubators. The war began with Hamas-led attacks on Israel in October 2023. UNICEF welcomed reports of a US-led peace plan but said agreements must translate into action, including school reopening.
