More than 50 children were reportedly killed in Jabalia in northern Gaza between Friday and Saturday, the United Nations agency UNICEF said.
The deaths occurred when “strikes leveled two residential buildings sheltering hundreds of people,” Catherine Russell, UNICEF’s executive director, said in the statement on Saturday.
She also cited two attacks on the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, one in which no UNICEF workers were injured when their car came under fire, and a second in which at least three children were reportedly injured near a vaccination clinic in Sheikh Radwan, in the north of the Strip.
