UNICEF: 143 children martyred and 440 others injured in the West Bank since last October

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) revealed that 43 children were martyred and 440 others were injured in Israeli occupation forces gunfire in the West Bank since the start of the Israeli aggression against Gaza Strip last October.

Wafa News Agency quoted the organization as saying in a report today: 143 children were martyred in Al Quds and the rest of the West Bank since last October, which represents an increase of about 250 percent compared to the previous nine months, in which 41 Palestinian children were martyred.

UNICEF indicated that more than 440 Palestinian children were injured by Israeli gunfire since the start of the occupation’s aggression against Gaza Strip, as the occupation’s attacks on the West Bank escalated coinciding with the aggression.
