These figures are collected by DCI/PS filed workers. Please check this page often for updates, particularly on child injuries, as the situation on the ground in Gaza creates challenges for the data collection process. Thus, it difficult for DCI to confirm deaths and injuries as well as provide additional background information on these children the same day that events occur.
