More than 200 children have been killed and 1,100 injured in Lebanon in the past two months, a spokesperson for UN children's agency Unicef said on Tuesday.
“The number is just in the past two months. It's at least 231 since the start of the war last year,” James Elder told a Geneva press briefing in response to a reporter's question.
He did not comment on who was responsible for the killings, saying that it was clear to anyone who follows the media.
