No surprise that the prutz wasn't interested in human rights but interesting to hear of the situation. I haven't read any of Bolton's books, but that might be interesting, I can see.

As of September 6, 2025, Save the Children reported that over 20,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza by Israeli forces since October 7, 2023. This figure, based on data from the Gaza Government Media Office, means that on average, at least one child has been killed every hour.
According to a UNICEF report, approximately 2% of the child population in Gaza has been killed in this period. Other organizations and reports provide slightly different counts, but all figures show that tens of thousands of children have been killed.
Statistics on Palestinian children killed
Total children killed in Gaza: Save the Children reported a figure exceeding 20,000 as of September 2025. Al Jazeera and the Washington Post, reporting in July and August 2025, cited figures between 18,500 and 19,000. UNICEF reported in May 2025 that over 50,000 children were killed or injured.
Missing children: In addition to the confirmed deaths, Save the Children estimated in June 2024 that up to 21,000 children were missing in Gaza, with many presumed to be buried under rubble.
West Bank deaths: The surge in violence since October 2023 also led to a record-breaking number of children killed in the occupied West Bank. In 2023, 124 children were killed in the West Bank, with 85 of those deaths occurring after October 7.
Comparison to other conflicts: Reports from Oxfam and UN officials indicate that the number of children killed in Gaza over the last year is higher than the equivalent period of any other conflict in the last two decades.
Challenges in reporting
Calculating and verifying the precise number of casualties, particularly of children, is difficult during an active war. Key challenges include:
Data sources: Casualty figures are primarily provided by the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its totals. However, the data is relied upon by UN agencies and other international organizations for reporting.
Missing persons: Thousands of individuals, including children, are missing and presumed to be buried under rubble. The number of missing persons makes accurate, up-to-date counts extremely challenging.
Access restrictions: Restrictions on humanitarian aid and access for aid workers, journalists, and investigators limit the ability of independent parties to verify figures on the ground.
Broader impact on children
Beyond direct fatalities, the conflict has had severe consequences for children in Gaza:
Amputations: Thousands of children have undergone amputations due to injuries from bombings and lack of medical care.
Starvation and malnutrition: The UN and health officials have warned of a rise in child deaths from malnutrition and starvation due to restrictions on humanitarian aid.
Mental health: Organizations report widespread psychological trauma and PTSD among children who have survived the violence.
Orphans: By October 2024, the number of orphans in Gaza was estimated to be around 20,000.
