The UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Palestinian territories, Richard Falk said "Israel" has killed 1,300 Palestinian children since 2000.

Richard Falk announced the figure during a press conference in the Jordanian capital city of Amman late on Monday, the Palestinian News Network reported on its website.

In his latest report, Falk noted that in 2010, the "Israeli" army's gunfire and shelling of the Gaza Strip claimed the lives of 17 children.

"Israel" has not responded to repeated calls by the UN Special Rapporteur for access to the occupied Palestinian territories.

Since his appointment in May 2008, Falk has faced hindrances by the "Israeli" regime, which has refused to cooperate with the rapporteur in his field missions.
