UNICEF announced today that more than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began in October.

"More than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began in early October," UNICEF spokesman James Elder told reporters at a United Nations (UN) briefing via video link from Gaza.

Elder said almost all of the children, 60 boys and 40 girls, died as a result of military attacks, including airstrikes, drone strikes, tank shelling and gunfire.

"Survival still depends on circumstances, although the bombings and shootings have decreased during the ceasefire - they have not stopped," he added.

He also said that the number is likely higher because the figure is based only on deaths for which sufficient information was available, Reuters reports.
