AhlulBayt News Agency: UNRWA said on Wednesday that more than 625,000 deeply traumatized school-aged children are living in the rubble in Gaza.

In remarks on X platform, UNRWA also said that many Palestinian children in the West Bank are exposed to escalating violence that negatively affects their lives and education.

According to the agency, Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank have suffered heavy losses since the beginning of the Israeli aggression against Gaza nearly a year ago.

The agency noted that even before the war began, most families in Gaza were facing great difficulties in providing food for their children.

It said “12 months into the war, there has been a noticeable increase in malnutrition cases, diseases and related deaths.”
