Nearly 1,100 Palestinian babies have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 2023, local authorities said on Wednesday, Anadolu Agency reports.

Gaza’s government media office said 1,091 babies lost their lives in the course of the Israeli onslaught, including 238 newborns.

Israel has launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023 despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.

More than 45,550 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 108,300 others injured, according to local health authorities.
