According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics quoted by the Palestinian WAFA news agency, Israeli occupation forces kill an average of four children every hour in the Gaza Strip.

As many as 43,349 children live without one or both of their parents due to the continuous Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip since October 7th last year, added the source.
