UNICEF says 70 children killed in West Bank and East Jerusalem since 2025

Seventy children have been killed in the occupied Palestinian territories excluding Gaza since early 2025, amounting to around one a ‌week, while over 800 have been injured, the U.N. children's agency said on Tuesday.

Most of those killed or injured in the West Bank and East Jerusalem were hit by live ammunition but others were stabbed, beaten or pepper-sprayed, UNICEF said.

"These are not isolated incidents. They point to a sustained pattern of the worst kind of violation - violations against children," spokesperson James Elder told a Geneva press briefing after visiting the West Bank last week.
