"Israel-Hamas Conflict: Rising Child Casualties in Gaza"

The UNRWA Commissioner-General expressed concern over the staggering number of children killed in Gaza in the last four months, surpassing the global figure over four years. Calls for an immediate ceasefire were reiterated as the conflict has resulted in over 31,000 Palestinian casualties and severe humanitarian crises, including widespread hunger and famine. UNRWA facilities and staff have been targeted, exacerbating the dire situation, while UN-partnered efforts are underway to provide aid to the affected population, including food, medical supplies, and fuel to hospitals.
