In the margins of the General Assembly’s high-level week, UN agencies and partners have come together to highlight the plight of Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza.

According to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), over 19,000 youngsters have been killed in Gaza over the past two years – an average of 28 children killed every day – the equivalent of an entire classroom. Another 42,000 children have been injured.    

Speaking to UN News’s Khaled Mohamed UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban emphasized that the international call to action aims to uphold child rights and help them envision a viable future.
