The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, said in an X post that Israel is “destroying a population from its roots.”

This came in a comment on a post by the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini.

In 5 months, Israel has killed more children in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia than all conflicts worldwide did in the past 4 years combined, Albanese added.

Lazzarini earlier said that the number of children reported killed in just five months in Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in four years of wars around the world combined.

“This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future,” Philippe Lazzarini further wrote.
