” Astonishing. The number of children allegedly killed in four months in Gaza is more than the number of children killed in four years in all conflicts worldwide.The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, made the pledge on Tuesday 12 March.
Filipe Lazzarini, in a post on Hamas-run Gaza, reports that more than 12,300 children died in the Palestinian territories between October and the end of February. “This war is a war against children. Mr. Lazzarini has been condemned. It is a war against their childhood and future. »
After five months of war between Israel and Hamas, with no ceasefire in place, the population, already battered by bombings, is threatened with famine. To compensate for insufficient aid on the ground in a territory ravaged by months of war, the international community is seeking to diversify its means of providing essential aid to the population.
The war began on October 7 with an unprecedented Hamas offensive that killed some 1,160 people in Israel, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. The attackers took about 250 hostages, dozens of whom were freed during a week-long standoff in November. Israel estimates that about 130 prisoners remain in Gaza, 32 of whom are presumed dead. Israeli retaliatory bombings and ground attacks have killed 31,184 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the territory's health ministry.
