Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of UNRWA, said: “It is horrific... the number of children reported killed in just over 4 months in Gaza is higher than the number of children killed during the combined 4 years of wars around the world.
He pointed out that this war is a war on children, it is a war on their childhood and their future.
He concluded his speech by saying: There must be a ceasefire now for the sake of the children of Gaza.
