Total Palestinian children deaths greater than child death toll across all conflicts for four years

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN refugee agency for Palestine (Unrwa), said that the number of Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces in Gaza is higher than the total number of children killed in all conflicts around the world for the past four years.

More than 12,300 Palestinian children have been killed since October last year, while the rest of the world say 12,193 children killed in all conflicts taking place around the world from 2019 to 2023.
