Gaza 'hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history', says Unrwa chief 

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."
