Gaza's Children Bear Repeated Risk in Zones Designated Safe

Since the October 2025 ceasefire, Israeli strikes in Gaza's designated "humanitarian zone" of al-Mawasi have killed multiple children, including a 12-year-old named Ahmed on June 24 and a girl in another June 27 attack. Most civilians in Gaza's shrinking coastal displacement corridors are families with minors. The concentration of child casualties in nominally protected areas raises questions about compliance with international humanitarian law standards governing distinction and precaution.
