Over 100 children killed in Gaza since ceasefire
A group called UNICEF, which helps children around the world, said that more than 100 kids in Gaza have been hurt or killed since a truce was called in October.
The spokesperson, James Elder, talked about this at a meeting.
He mentioned that some of these children were hurt by drones and small flying machines called quadcopters.
It's really sad because these kids are the ones who should be safe and protected.
The health ministry in Gaza said even more children have been killed.
Israel stopped some help groups from bringing supplies to Gaza, which makes things even harder for the people there.
Families are struggling to find food and medicine, and children are very scared and hurt emotionally.
Over 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the October ceasefire, according to UNICEF.
Gaza's health ministry reports 165 child casualties, including seven due to hypothermia from the blockade.
Continued violence includes drone and quadcopter attacks, bombings, and shootings during the ceasefire.
Israel suspended 37 aid agencies from accessing Gaza, which UNICEF and the UN call 'outrageous'.
Children face extreme hardships, including lack of food, medical care, and psychological trauma.
