"We are really seeing a mounting death toll among children and we believe that this may be higher, given that many children and their families remain under the rubble in different parts of the country," said Ellie Higgins, Deputy representative at Unicef Lebanon. "The bombardments continued again last night and since Friday, we have seen an escalation in the conflict around Beirut, especially in the southern suburbs."
