Save the Children’s analysis of the numbers discloses a particularly disturbing fact – the number of children killed in Gaza since October 7, 3,195, is more than the total number of kids killed in conflicts worldwide annually since 2019.
Fears of a possible airstrike on Gaza’s Al-Quds hospital grow following Israel issued order of its “immediate” evacuation and as brutal bombardment continues, Al Jazeera reported on Sunday.

The World Health Organization (WHO) chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says it is “deeply concerned” over the situation in Gaza. In a statement, Tedros said that the Palestinian Red Crescent “report of evacuation threats to Al-Quds hospital in the Gaza Strip is deeply concerning.”
“We repeat – it is not possible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without jeopardizing their lives,” the WHO head insisted. Tedros said earlier that his uncle and cousin have been killed in the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia.
