The head of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has reported alarming figures regarding the impact of Israel's ongoing conflict in Gaza on children. According to Lazzarini, ten children per day are losing one or both of their legs, often in dire conditions without anesthesia. The broader humanitarian crisis includes 4,000 children missing, 17,000 unaccompanied, and 14,000 children killed. These statistics underscore the severe and tragic consequences faced by the youngest and most vulnerable in the region.
