BEIJING, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- World Children's Day, celebrated annually on Nov. 20, promotes the rights and welfare of children globally and commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Across the Gaza Strip, two years of bombardments and fighting have resulted in catastrophic devastation. More than 64,000 children have been reported killed and injured, and over 56,000 children have lost one or both parents, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). All children have experienced traumatic events and significant interruptions to their education.
The war has already cost children in Gaza so much. They now deserve a durable and lasting peace so the long recovery process can begin, said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.
