The Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdullah Shawesh, has put the number of Palestinians killed in the Israel-Hamas conflict at over 14,200. 
Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, yesterday, Shawesh said the victims include 6,000 children, 4,000 women, while the number of injured people had exceeded 33,000. 
   
The envoy lamented that the conflict caused serious “economic losses to the already fragile Palestinian economy”.  The diplomat regretted that United Nations shelters meant to provide safe havens to terrified displaced civilians were attacked without consequences. 
   
“Where else in the world would this be permitted? Where else in the world would over 830,000 people desperate for refuge cram into UN schools, tolerating inhuman, undignified conditions only in the belief that they would be safe, and still not be protected?” he asked.
