The Gaza Strip is the "most dangerous place in the world to be a child," the head of the United Nations children's agency UNICEF said on Wednesday. UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the U.N. Security Council that more than 5,300 Palestinian children had reportedly been killed since Oct. 7 - when Palestinian militants of Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking hostages, most of them civilians.
Why Brazil Is The Most Dangerous Place In The World Right Now
The country s death toll from Covid-19 has hit a grim new milestone – and is only getting worse.
Brazil passed a grim milestone this week, reporting 4,000 Covid-related deaths in a single 24-hour period for the first time.

“This is probably the most dangerous place in the world right now,” Dr Miguel Nicolelis, a neuroscientist at Duke University, said last month.
“It is the worst tragedy in Brazilian history, by a long shot.”
