Philippe Lazzarini: One child gets killed every hour in Gaza due to Israeli aggression

GAZA, Dec. 24 (YPA) -Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), stated that one Palestinian child is killed every hour in the Gaza Strip due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the enclave, which has lasted for more than 14 months.

“No place for children. Since the beginning of the war 14,500 children have been reported killed in Gaza according to UNICEF, Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X platform.

He added, “One child gets killed every hour. These are not numbers These are lives cut short.”

“Killing children cannot be justified.”

“Those who survive are scarred physically and emotionally. Deprived of learning, boys and girls in Gaza sift through the rubble,” he stressed.

He concluded his post by saying: “The clock is ticking for these children. They are losing their lives, their futures and mostly their hope.”
