AMMAN, 29 May 2022 ¨C?¡°Another 14-year-old?Palestinian?boy was shot and killed in Bethlehem last Friday, the third Palestinian child killed this week alone.

¡°Since the beginning of the year, 13 Palestinian children have been killed in the West Bank?–?almost double the number compared to last year.

¡°That is 13 lives lost, 13 lives cut short, 13 dreams shattered.

¡°A child is a child, and their right to life must be protected by all parties.

¡°Children should never be targeted. They should never be put in harm¡¯s way or be exposed to violence.

¡°UNICEF reiterates its call to protect all children,?at all times, everywhere¡±.
