Save the Children reports seven Lebanese children killed or injured daily in Israel invasion

Save the Children’s latest assessment indicates that the humanitarian toll on children in Lebanon remains severe even after the Lebanese government reached an agreement with Israel to halt hostilities. The organization reports that dozens of children have been killed and hundreds more injured since the escalation began, while many more have been displaced from their homes and are lacking access to essential services such as education, healthcare, and nutrition. The data, compiled from field surveys and partner agencies, highlights that a significant proportion of the affected minors are under the age of ten, and that the conflict has disrupted schooling for thousands of children across the southern governorates and border regions.

Despite the formal cease‑fire, sporadic clashes and artillery fire continue to threaten civilian areas, undermining the intended protection of vulnerable populations. Save the Children calls for full implementation of the agreement, increased monitoring of cease‑fire compliance, and the rapid delivery of humanitarian assistance to mitigate the ongoing impact on children. The organization urges both parties to prioritize the safety of minors and to facilitate unimpeded access for aid workers to address the urgent needs of the affected youth.
