The Chief of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has described Gaza as “no land” for children.
Citing the UN agency for children UNICEF, Phillipe Lazzarini said that “at least 100 children are reported killed or injured every day in Gaza” since Israel broke the truce with Hamas on March 18.
“The ceasefire at the beginning of the year gave Gaza’s children a chance to survive and be children,” said Lazzarini.
“The resumption of the war is again robbing them of their childhood. The war has turned Gaza into a ‘no land’ for children. This is a stain on our common humanity.”
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,523 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 114,638 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
