Over 200 children killed in Lebanon in two months, Unicef says

More than 200 children have been killed and 1,100 wounded in Lebanon in the past two months, a spokesperson for the UN children's agency (Unicef) said on Tuesday.

"The number of over 200 (children killed) is just in the last 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 about casualties.

He did not comment on who was responsible for the killings, saying that it was clear to anyone who follows the media.
