Summary

Israeli war on Lebanon killing or wounding 30 children each day The Israeli war on Lebanon is killing or wounding the equivalent of an entire classroom of children every day, a senior Unicef official said. Lebanon’s health ministry has reported that Israeli strikes have killed at least 111 children and wounded 334 since 2 March, when Israel expanded its attacks on Lebanon. The toll averages nearly 30 children killed or injured each day. "That's a classroom of children every day since the beginning of the war that's either killed or injured in Lebanon," Unicef Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban said in an interview  with Reuters on Tuesday. Israeli attacks have killed more than 900 people in Lebanon since 2 March, Lebanese data shows, while sweeping evacuation orders have forced over one million people from their homes. Among them are roughly 350,000 children.
