This claim overstates the documented child death toll in Gaza by a very large margin.

UNICEF's State of Palestine Appeal (published September 2026) says: "In the Gaza Strip, at least 21,700 children have been reported killed as of 30 June 2026; 45,000 children have been injured". That is the clearest child-specific figure in the official UNICEF material available for 2026.

A second UNICEF page, Children in Gaza need life-saving support (updated 5 August 2026), says "More than 64,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured". Because that 64,000 figure combines deaths and injuries, it is impossible for the number of children killed alone to be "more than 70,000" on the basis of the same UNICEF reporting stream.

For additional context, WHO's Regional Director said on 21 May 2026 that more than 72,000 people in total had been killed in the occupied Palestinian territory context since October 2023. That underscores how implausible the post's wording is: the claimed child death toll is not supported by the UN agencies' published casualty figures.

So while UN agencies do report that very large numbers of Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza, the specific figure in the post — "more than 70,000 children" — is contradicted by current UNICEF reporting.
