Speaking to journalists in Geneva on Thursday, UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said reports confirmed the death of an infant girl in Khan Younis as a result of an airstrike, while seven other children were killed the previous day in Gaza City and the southern region.
"There is only one party in the conflict in Gaza that possesses the firepower necessary to conduct airstrikes," he noted.
