The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday that the war on Gaza has resulted in the tragic loss of over 2,300 children in the Gaza Strip and more than 30 Israeli children.

"Unrelenting attacks have taken a devastating toll on Gaza's children, with a reported 2,360 fatalities and 5,364 injuries. More than 30 Israeli children have reportedly lost their lives. We urgently appeal for a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and the release of hostages," UNICEF wrote on X.

From rubble to graveyards, Gaza continues recovering its martyrs

As of Monday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that there are approximately 590,000 individuals who are taking refuge in 150 UNRWA facilities within Gaza.

In the same period, UNRWA verified the loss of 35 of its personnel in Gaza since October 7 and reported damage to 40 UN facilities.

The White House stated on Tuesday that a ceasefire in Gaza "would only benefit Hamas."

"A ceasefire right now really only benefits Hamas," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told journalists.

The UN Security Council is currently in the process of examining a UN resolution proposed by Russia for the establishment of a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as well as the creation of corridors for aid to reach the affected population. 

"Notes in this regard that humanitarian ceasefire agreement could play a vital role to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance in order to help save civilian lives, and further calls for all measures, such as humanitarian pauses and establishment of humanitarian corridors," the draft resolution said.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was due to hold a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on the sidelines of the UN Security Council meeting, today.

However, after Guterres affirmed that "the attack by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum" and that "the Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation," Cohen announced that the meeting had been annulled.
