Israeli police have shot dead a Palestinian boy, 13, during another night of unrest in the West Bank, Palestinian health officials have said. At least three Palestinians are thought to have been killed in clashes overnight.
A 'staggering' number of children have been killed since Israel began its war in Gaza, the head of the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA has said.'The number of children reported killed in just over four months in Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in four years of wars around the world combined,' Philippe Lazzarini tweeted.
'This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.'He shared a chart which uses data from the UN and Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza to show more than 12,300 children were reported to have been killed in Gaza between October last year and February this year, compared with 12,193 killed in worldwide conflicts over four years.
