The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, said that Israel is “uprooting a people,” in a post on her account on the “X” platform today, Wednesday.

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

Lazzarini said in his post yesterday that the number of children killed in Gaza since October 7 is greater than the number of children killed in the world’s wars over the past 4 years.

Albanese pointed out that "this massacre of children occurred within 5 months in an area the size of the American city of Philadelphia."

In his post, Lazzarini shared a graph prepared based on data from the United Nations and the Ministry of Health in Gaza, showing the number of children who were martyred in Gaza in the period from October 7 to February 29 and the number of children killed in wars in the past four years.

The graph showed that the number of children killed in wars in the world during the past four years reached 12,193, while the number of children martyred in Gaza reached more than 12,300 children.

Despite the start of the month of Ramadan, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive destruction of infrastructure, which led to Tel Aviv appearing before the Court of Justice. international charge of "genocide".
