The Dhaka Times Desk The number of children killed in the Gaza Strip in the last 6 months is shocking, said Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
He made this comment in an interview given to the Russian news agency TASS recently. This UN official said that the number of children who lost their lives in various wars in the last 4 years in the whole world, more children were killed in the last 6 months than in Gaza alone.
He added, however, that accurate casualty figures are difficult to obtain in war situations. But I believe, the figures released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health are shocking. The death toll in Gaza is believed to exceed 34,000.
Philip Lazzarini said, killing more than 34,000 people in just 6 months is unimaginable. 13,000 of them are children. The number of children killed in Gaza in the last 6 months is more than the number of children killed in all conflicts in the world in the last 4 years.
Philippe Lazzarini was asked that the death toll in Gaza is said to be over 34,000. Is the number overestimated compared to the death toll?
In response, Filipe Lazzarini said, "According to our information, the number is not overestimated at all." Rather, I think the actual death toll is much higher.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
