UNICEF: Israeli Attacks Kill 200 Children in Lebanon Since March
UNICEF reported that at least 200 children have been killed and 806 injured in Lebanon due to ongoing Israeli attacks since March 2, 2026. Despite a ceasefire agreement effective from April 17, violence has persisted, with 59 children killed or injured in the past week alone. The UN agency highlighted that approximately 770,000 children are suffering from heightened distress due to repeated exposure to violence, displacement, and loss. Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, warned of severe long-term mental health consequences for these children due to inadequate psychosocial support. Lebanese officials state that overall casualties since March exceed 2,896 deaths and 8,824 injuries, with over 1.6 million people displaced. The Israeli army continues daily strikes and exchanges of fire with Hezbollah, violating the ceasefire extended until May 17. UNICEF urged all parties to comply with international humanitarian law and protect children, emphasizing that the reality on the ground contradicts the agreed-upon silence of weapons.
