100 children among 394 Palestinians killed in occupied West Bank since Oct 7: UN

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) reports that 702 children were among the 4,528 Palestinian people injured across the occupied West Bank, occupied East Jerusalem, and in Israel, since October.

The latest data, which was accurate up to Tuesday, also reveals that Israeli settlers carried out 573 recorded attacks against Palestinian people and their property during the same period.

In the most recent killing, undercover Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man on Tuesday after besieging a house in the Jenin refugee camp.

The Israeli practice of demolishing Palestinian-owned homes in the occupied territories has also led to the displacement of 830 people, including 337 children, with 131 homes demolished since October 7, according to UNOCHA.

Some 95 percent of the demolitions were reported in the Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarem refugee camps in the occupied West Bank.
