Statement By UNICEF: Child Casualties In Iran Reportedly Exceed 2,500 Amid Ongoing War“As war reverberates in Iran and neighboring countries, children continue to be killed and maimed in the places where they should be safest – their homes, schools and communities.
“Yesterday, in Qeshm Island, off the southern coast of Iran, a two-year-old child was reportedly killed alongside the child’s parents after a strike hit a residential building.
Another two children were reportedly injured in the same attack.
In the last five months, more than 4,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured across six countries – more than 2,500 of them in Iran, with 386 children reported killed and 2,117 children reported injured.
Parties must take all feasible measures to end the violence now and protect children at all times, wherever they may be."
