Israeli military and settlers have been responsible for the deaths of at least one Palestinian child per week on average in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of 2025, according to the UN. UNICEF’s James Elder has condemned the increasing number of child casualties and called on Israeli authorities to respect the rights of children.

The escalation of these tragic events raises questions about the safety and well-being of children living in areas of conflict, and underscores the importance of upholding international humanitarian laws to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
