Approximately 70 percent of those killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are women and children. This information was shared by Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). His words are quoted TASS.
“Approximately 70 percent of those killed were women and children,” says the UN representative.
According to Lazzarini, almost 3.2 thousand children died in the Palestinian region in three weeks.
“This cannot be collateral damage,” the organization’s general commissioner stressed.
According to him, religious buildings, hospitals and UNRWA facilities where Gazan civilians try to shelter are under fire.
“The current siege on the Gaza Strip is a collective punishment,” says Lazzarini.
Before this, the radical Hamas movement released a video featuring three hostages demanding that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu carry out an immediate prisoner exchange. Additionally, one of the women in the video accused Israeli authorities of failing to protect people during the October 7 attack. Netanyahu called the video “brutal psychological propaganda” by Hamas and promised to “make every effort” to release the hostages. As of October 25, Hamas held 222 detainees, including six Russians. Radicals are ready to release people in exchange for the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons (about 6 thousand people). Details are in the material “Newspapers.Ru”.
