469 Gaza children killed, over 370,000 need 'psychosocial aid' - UNICEF

At least 469 children have been killed and over 3,000 injured in Gaza since the start of the Israeli offensive, a senior UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) official said, adding that more than 370,000 Palestinian kids require "immediate psychosocial first aid." Nine children have died in Gaza violence since Wednesday, the chief of UNICEF's Gaza field office, Pernilla Ironside, said at a press conference on Thursday in New York. "There isn't a single family in Gaza who hasn't experienced personally death, injury, the loss of their home, extensive damage, displacement," Ironside said.
