UNICEF calls for de-escalation in Lebanon as at least 24 Children killed on Monday

The UN International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is calling for a de-escalation of the conflict between Lebanon and Israel amid the deaths of at least 24 children Monday in southern Lebanon, the group's Executive Director Catherine Russell said.

"I’m deeply alarmed by the ongoing surge of deadly attacks in Lebanon and Israel, which earlier today reportedly claimed the lives of at least 24 children in southern Lebanon. UNICEF urgently calls for an immediate de-escalation," Russell said on social media.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have purportedly launched another wave of strikes on Lebanon, local media reported, with videos of the aftermath circulating on social media.
