Commissioner general of the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestine refugees Philippe Lazzarini said on Friday on X that "Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history".
He also spoke about the need for a political solution for Palestinians.
"Palestinian refugees remain refugees because of the absence of a political solution," he said in a post on Thursday. "They are no exception. Other refugees across the world have also been waiting decades for a lasting political solution to their plight. Dismantling UNRWA will not address the refugee status of Palestinians. A political solution will. Investing in peace is the answer to end what was meant to be a temporary situation."
