At least 100 children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and ground forces in Gaza since the start of a tenuous ceasefire three months ago, the United Nations said on Tuesday. “More than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire,” Unicef spokesman James Elder told reporters in Geneva. “That’s roughly a girl or a boy killed here every day during a ceasefire,” he said, speaking from Gaza City. They’re killed from tank shelling. An official at Gaza’s health ministry, which maintains casualty records, has reported a higher figure of 165 children killed during the tenuous ceasefire, out of a total 442 fatalities.
