A child is killed and two others injured every 10 minutes in Gaza, according to the enclave's Health Ministry.
About 9,500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7, most of whom are women and children.

More than 1,000 children are also trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings, the Health Ministry said earlier this week.

The UN's Children Fund has said Gaza is a "graveyard" for thousands of children.
