Harrowing.
At least 100 children are reported killed or injured every day in Gaza, since the strikes resumed (on 18 March), according to UNICEF
Young lives cut short in a war not of children's making.
Since the war began 1.5 years ago, 15,000 children were reportedly killed.
The ceasefire at the beginning of the year gave Gaza's children a chance to survive and be children.
The resumption of the war is again robbing them of their childhood. The war has turned Gaza into a "no land" for children.
This is a stain on our common humanity.
Nothing justifies the killing of children wherever they are.

UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.
UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, The Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on.
UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.
