Ismail al-Thawabta, the head of Gaza’s Government Media Office, told Anadolu that at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed by the Israeli war machine since October 7. He further added that "around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression."
