625,000 children are experiencing severe trauma in Gaza

Earlier, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that more than 625,000 school-aged children in Gaza are experiencing severe trauma due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s head, shared on the X platform on Wednesday that Palestinian children in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have faced immense losses since the onset of Israeli aggression in Gaza nearly a year ago.

"While nearly 625,000 deeply traumatized girls and boys are out of school and living in the rubble in Gaza, many children in the West Bank suffer from escalating violence that disrupts their lives and education," Lazzarini stated.

UNRWA expressed alarm over a concerning increase in malnutrition, disease, and mortality rates nearly a year into the ongoing aggression.

The agency noted that even before the outbreak of war on Gaza, many families struggled to ensure proper nutrition for their young children as they prepared for their first year of school.
