Reports of 35 Children Among Those Killed in Renewed Airstrikes from Israeli Forces in Gaza
GAZA, October 29, 2025 - 35 children were reported to be among those killed overnight by renewed airstrikes from Israeli forces in Gaza.
Ahmad Alhendawi, Save the Children’s Regional Director for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe, said:
“These reports are excruciating. This is a half of last night’s death toll. After some weeks of cautious optimism and hopes of rebuilding Gaza, children and families are once again reliving scenes of fear and loss."
“This cannot become the new normal under a ceasefire. A lasting ceasefire must mean safety, relief and recovery for children not continued suffering. It must be fully respected and upheld."
“We are pleading: stop this now. Protect the ceasefire, protect children, and give Gaza’s families a step towards the genuine peace they have been waiting for.”
