News - More children in Gaza die in past 4 months than the number of kids killed worldwide in 4 years of wars

More children in Gaza have died in the past four months than the number of kids killed worldwide in four years of wars. This was informed by the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini. "Staggering. The number of children reported killed in just over 4 months in Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in 4 years of wars around the world combined," Lazzarini said in a statement on X—former Twitter. According to him, the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict is "a war on children." Also, Lazzarini repeated the call to ceasefire “for the sake of children in Gaza.” According to the latest data, the number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of Israeli military operations in this Palestinian enclave is approaching 31,200. And according to the estimates of the World Health Organization, most of these casualties are women and children.
