UNICEF spokesman James Elder says “a child is killed, on average, every single day” in Gaza since a ceasefire was announced in October 2025.
“These children were not killed in a warzone — they were killed in their homes,” Elder tells a press briefing in Geneva via videolink from Amman. The press briefing also featured the latest update from the WHO Africa emergencies chief on the Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo.
