Three or more children on the average are dying every day in the past two months in Lebanon as a result of the continued fighting in the region, the United Nations Children’s Fund has disclosed.

The UNICEF made this revelation as it lamentat that the “intolerable is quietly transforming into the acceptable.

"Despite more than 200 children killed in Lebanon in less than two months, a disconcerting pattern has emerged: their deaths are met with inertia from those able to stop this violence," UNICEF spokesperson James Elder told the media in a recent press brieving in Geneva, Switzerland.

"For the children of Lebanon, it has become a silent normalization of horror,” Elder said.

He noted that the deaths is even more exacerbated by the fact that “many, many more” have been injured and subjected to trauma on a daily basis.

"We must hope humanity never again witnesses the ongoing level of carnage of children in Gaza, though there are chilling similarities for children in Lebanon,” appealed the UNICEF official.

He noted “chilling similarities” between Gaza and Lebanon as both now have hundreds of children made homeless in the country.

Further, even medical facilities are not spared of bomb attacks while schools remain closed.

The UNICEF spokesperson noted that as the attacks intensify, the level of need also intensifies.

”In Lebanon, much the same as has become the case in Gaza, the intolerable is quietly transforming into the acceptable. And the appalling is slipping into the realm of the expected," Elder said.

"And once more, the cries of children go unheard, the world’s silence grows deafening, and again we allow the unimaginable to become the landscape of childhood," he added, calling it "a horrific and unacceptable new normal."

Israel has been engaged in cross-border warfare with Lebanon, launching an air campaign against what it claims are targets of the Hezbollah group in late September.

Over 3,500 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon, with nearly 15,000 injured and more than a million displaced since last October, according to Lebanese health authorities.
