In just 25 days of war, more than 3,600 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry. The advocacy group Save The Children says more children were killed in Gaza in October 2023 than in all conflict zones around the world combined in 2022. (AP Photo/Abdul Qader Sabbah, File)
