Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

OK weird thing for me: I'm in the US. If I click that link I get told to go to the US site (savethechildren.org not savethechildren.net) and the US site appears not to have that story, at least not in that form. I used their search function for the article title and found nothing.f

Maybe they just titled it differently and I should search more carefully, but it seems odd right now.

I checked it out, you're absolutely right and it's weird as fuck. Maybe they raise a lot of money through the US side and they think that being too pro Palestinian child or detail specific might turn some people off?

Good catch btw!

Thanks for checking. I'm sad to be right about this.
