A bit of a bad headline and summary (from the UN as well as the BBC). The important part of the number is that almost half (44%) the verified casualties were children, and the most hit age category is the category of 5-9, followed by 10-14, and then 0-4.
The actual report also compares it with previous conflicts in Gaza, which do not show this skew towards younger ages.
