UN Children’s Fund (Unicef) Executive Director Catherine Russell expressed concern over the killing of children in recent attacks in Lebanon, Anadolu reports.

“Horrified by reports of at least 5 children killed and several injured in attacks this week in #Lebanon,” Catherine Russell said on X.

She said at least 25 children have reportedly been killed and over 200 others injured in the past 11 months.

“The escalation puts more children at risk of death, injury, and fear. The rise in hostilities threatens children in Lebanon and beyond. It must stop, now,” Russell added.
