Philippe Lazzarini, Head of UNRWA, said in a message on the X social network that Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River are facing dire humanitarian conditions since the start of Israel's barbaric attacks on Gaza almost a year ago. previous.

He explained that, "While nearly 625,000 girls and boys with gonorrhea are out of school and living in the rubble in Gaza, many children in the West Bank are facing increasing violence and crime that is disrupting their lives and education." 

Likewise, UNRWA has expressed its concern, as there has been a shocking increase in malnutrition, disease, and death rates among children during the nearly one-year period of occupation and sabotage by the Zionists in Gaza.

"Even before the outbreak of war in Gaza, many families were already facing problems in providing adequate nutrition for their young children who were preparing for their first year of school," the United Nations organization has explained.

In addition, a report published by UNRWA on Wednesday warned that the ongoing war in Gaza will set back the education of children and youth up to five years ago, leading to the disappearance of a generation of Palestinian youth who are suffering from chronic and permanent trauma.
