UNICEF: OVER 200 CHILDREN KILLED IN LEBANON AMID ISRAEL’S ASSAULT

Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed numerous children every single day in the
past week, UNICEF said.

journalism with a donation of any size.

Israel’s escalated assault on Lebanon is killing three children each day on
average, the UN children’s agency reports, as Israel’s intensified bombardments
and raids take a horrific toll on the country.

Over 200 children have been killed in Lebanon over the past two months of
Israel’s expanded aggression in Lebanon, according to UNICEF. This amounts to
over three child deaths per day on average.

At a press conference, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder detailed child killings
from every day of the past week of Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, ending with an
attack on Sunday in which two 4-year-old twin girls were killed.

“Despite more than 200 children killed in Lebanon in less than two months, a
disconcerting pattern has emerged: their deaths are met with inertia from those
able to stop this violence. For the children of Lebanon, it has become a silent
normalization of horror,” said Elder. “In Lebanon, much the same as has become
the case in Gaza, the intolerable is quietly transforming into the acceptable.”

Since October of 2023, Lebanon’s Health Ministry has documented 231 children
killed and 1,330 injured, as Israel has pounded Lebanon with bombs, targeting
civilian areas in Beirut and across southern Lebanon.

UN: OVER 11,000 PREGNANT PEOPLE IN LEBANON AT RISK DUE TO ISRAEL’S AGGRESSION

Over 1,000 are expected to give birth soon, with fewer and fewer health
facilities to turn to.
By Sharon Zhang , Truthout October 31, 2024

In all, Israel has killed 3,500 people in Lebanon and injured nearly 15,000.
Israel has also forced over 1 million people to be displaced, including an
estimated 400,000 children. The Israeli military’s targeting of Lebanon’s health
care system is especially severe, with at least 286 Israeli attacks on health
care in the country, killing at least 208 health care workers in total.

The attacks have seemingly intensified recently, according to a Washington Post
analysis of Lebanese Health Ministry data, with an average of 3.5 children
killed and 9.5 children wounded each day in the past three weeks. The Post
detailed how Israeli strikes on residential buildings in Lebanon are so severe
that they shred the bodies of their child victims to pieces.

In a video missive on Monday, Elder expressed horror at the lack of action to
protect children amid Israel’s aggression.

“‘It’s complicated. The war is complicated.’ I’m so sick of hearing these words.
There’s nothing complicated about this. What’s complicated about a child’s
bedroom? What’s complicated about the way their clothes were set for the next
day?” an emotional Elder asked. “There is nothing complicated about a child
going to bed and expecting to wake up the next day.”

“There’s nothing complicated about the fact that children in Lebanon deserve
protection. And they’re getting none,” Elder concluded.

There is no end in sight to Israel’s assault. This week, Lebanon, Hezbollah and
U.S. officials reportedly agreed on a ceasefire agreement, with talks being
headed by the U.S. But Israeli officials have pledged to continue their assault
on Lebanon no matter what, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying
Monday that Israel would openly defy a ceasefire if a deal was reached.

TRUTHOUT IS PREPARING TO MEET TRUMP’S AGENDA WITH RESISTANCE AT EVERY TURN

Dear Truthout Community,

If you feel rage, despondency, confusion and deep fear today, you are not alone.
We’re feeling it too. We are heartsick. Facing down Trump’s fascist agenda, we
are desperately worried about the most vulnerable people among us, including our
loved ones and everyone in the Truthout community, and our minds are racing a
million miles a minute to try to map out all that needs to be done.

We must give ourselves space to grieve and feel our fear, feel our rage, and
keep in the forefront of our mind the stark truth that millions of real human
lives are on the line. And simultaneously, we’ve got to get to work, take stock
of our resources, and prepare to throw ourselves full force into the movement.

Journalism is a linchpin of that movement. Even as we are reeling, we’re
summoning up all the energy we can to face down what’s coming, because we know
that one of the sharpest weapons against fascism is publishing the truth.

There are many terrifying planks to the Trump agenda, and we plan to devote
ourselves to reporting thoroughly on each one and, crucially, covering the
movements resisting them. We also recognize that Trump is a dire threat to
journalism itself, and that we must take this seriously from the outset.

After the election, the four of us sat down to have some hard but necessary
conversations about Truthout under a Trump presidency. How would we defend our
publication from an avalanche of far right lawsuits that seek to bankrupt us?
How would we keep our reporters safe if they need to cover outbreaks of
political violence, or if they are targeted by authorities? How will we urgently
produce the practical analysis, tools and movement coverage that you need right
now — breaking through our normal routines to meet a terrifying moment in ways
that best serve you?

It will be a tough, scary four years to produce social justice-driven
journalism. We need to deliver news, strategy, liberatory ideas, tools and
movement-sparking solutions with a force that we never have had to before. And
at the same time, we desperately need to protect our ability to do so.

We know this is such a painful moment and donations may understandably be the
last thing on your mind. But we must ask for your support, which is needed in a
new and urgent way.

We promise we will kick into an even higher gear to give you truthful news that
cuts against the disinformation and vitriol and hate and violence. We promise to
publish analyses that will serve the needs of the movements we all rely on to
survive the next four years, and even build for the future. We promise to be
responsive, to recognize you as members of our community with a vital stake and
voice in this work.

Please dig deep if you can, but a donation of any amount will be a truly
meaningful and tangible action in this cataclysmic historical moment.

We’re with you. Let’s do all we can to move forward together.

With love, rage, and solidarity,

Maya, Negin, Saima, and Ziggy
