According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, while the children of Gaza are the biggest victims of the barbaric crimes of the occupying regime and the hunger war of this regime against Gaza, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) announced: the number of children who have been martyred as a result of the current war in the Gaza Strip is more than the total number of children who have died during the conflicts of the last 4 years around the world. They have lost their lives, it is more. “Philippe Lazzarini”, the Commissioner General of UNRWA, considered the current war of the Zionist regime in Gaza as a war against children and said that the number of children who died in Gaza in just 4 months have lost more than all the children who died in all the world’s conflicts in 4 years.

Lazzarini cited the statistics of the United Nations, which show that from the period of 2019 to 2022, in conflicts around the world, 12 thousand And 193 children have been killed. This is despite the fact that from October 2023 to February 2024, more than 12,300 children died in Gaza as a result of the war. Humanitarian aid and medical equipment, including ventilators and cancer drugs, are arriving in Gaza.
