UNICEF reports child casualties in Lebanon attack
UNICEF has reported that Israeli aggression against Lebanon since March has resulted in the death of 261 children and injuries to 1,056 others. Approximately 436 schools have been damaged, putting around 100,000 children at risk of being deprived of education. Additionally, 86 teachers have been killed or injured. United Nations-affiliated organizations have warned that the worsening economic crisis is leading to child hunger and labor market instability, noting that 22% of households experienced their children going hungry in the past two weeks, and 31% were denied access to healthcare. Around 770,000 children have suffered psychological distress. It has also been found that 67% of young people aged 18 to 25 are unemployed, and the rate of students enrolled in education has declined. The organization warns that if the crisis continues, it will have long-term effects on an entire generation, emphasizing that Lebanon's recovery heavily depends on protecting children's rights and providing a supportive environment for their future.
