United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said that "twelve months of brutal war have transformed the Gaza Strip into an unrecognizable sea of rubble and a graveyard for tens of thousands of people, among them far too many children." "One year has passed, and not a day goes by without families in Gaza being subjected to unspeakable suffering, as forced displacement, disease, hunger, and death have become the daily norm for 2 million people trapped in a bombed-out and besieged enclave," Lazzarini said. "The destruction of essential infrastructure has reached catastrophic levels," he added. UNRWA Commissioner-General stressed that "children have been the first and most to suffer. Beyond the killing and injury, every child in Gaza is traumatized many with life-long invisible scars. More than 650,000 children are losing another year of learning. Instead of being in classrooms, they are sifting through the rubble in despair and fear." Source: Qatar News Agency
