On Aljazeera, I came across the following a couple of minutes ago:
UN: More children killed in four months of war on Gaza than in four years of global war
The head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has shared data on X that shows this staggering figure.
More than 12,300 children were killed in Gaza between October 2023 and February 2024, the data shows, compared to 12,193 children killed in global conflict from 2019 to 2023.
“This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future,” Philippe Lazzarini wrote.

So I turned to Bing’s Copilot.
Me:
Who very recently wrote "This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future"?
Copilot:
The statement “This war is a war on children.

Copilot:
Thank you for providing the context! Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), recently made the statement: “This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.” His words highlight the devastating impact of conflict on innocent lives, particularly children who bear the brunt of violence and displacement. 🕊️💔
Me:
Could you retrieve a link for this quote, please?
Copilot:
Certainly! The quote “This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.” was recently made by Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). He expressed this sentiment in the context of the intensifying Gaza conflict, where he revealed the staggering number of children killed in just over four months in Gaza. According to United Nations data, this number exceeds the total children killed in four years of wars around the world combined1. His words emphasize the devastating impact of conflict on innocent lives, particularly children who bear the brunt of violence and displacement.
