> THE UNITED NATIONS CHILDREN’S FUND (UNICEF) HAS RECORDED A 250% INCREASE IN
> THE NUMBER OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK SINCE
> OCTOBER LAST YEAR.

“A total of 143 Palestinian children have been killed in the West Bank,
including East Jerusalem, since October last year, a spike of nearly 250 per
cent compared to the preceding nine months, during which 41 Palestinian children
were killed,” UNICEF said in a statement on Monday. Two Israeli children were
killed during the same period.

Additionally, more than 440 Palestinian children have been injured with live
ammunition, the organization said, adding that the figures raise serious alarm
around unnecessary and excessive use of force against the most vulnerable.

“For years now, children living in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have
been exposed to horrific violence,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine
Russell, adding that the situation “has deteriorated significantly, coinciding
with the escalation of hostilities inside Gaza.”

She emphasized: “We are seeing frequent allegations of Palestinian children
being detained on their way home from school, or shot while walking on the
streets. The violence needs to stop now.”

INCREASED MILITARY OPERATIONS

The casualties have been reported in 10 out of 11 governorates in the West Bank,
with more than half of the killings taking place in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nablus.

These areas “have seen an increase in large and militarized law enforcement
operations over the past two years, indicating a shift in intensity and scope,”
according to UNICEF.

The organization noted that the increasing tensions in the West Bank, including
East Jerusalem, were also impacting “the physical and mental well-being” of
thousands of children and families, “who are now living in daily fear for their
lives.”

Children report being scared to walk around their neighbourhoods or to travel to
school.

“The true cost of the violence in the State of Palestine and Israel will be
measured in children’s lives—those lost and those forever changed by it,” said
Russell. “What the children desperately need is an end to violence and a lasting
political solution to the crisis, so that they can reach their fullest potential
in peace and safety.”

Before October 7, children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, “were
already exposed to the highest levels of violence in 20 years, with 41
Palestinian children and 6 Israeli children killed in the first 9 months of last
year.”

UNICEF said they have also been heavily affected by movement and access
restrictions that disrupted their daily lives.

A recent New York Times made many claims about the ‘mass rape’ of Israeli women
on October 7. But two leading Palestinian media organizations, The Palestine
Chronicle and Friends of Palestine Network, conducted a joint investigation, the
outcome of which resulted in the ‘The Black Dress’, a groundbreaking 18-minute
documentary looking into allegations and the possible falsification of evidence.
