Approximately 893 thousand children of Gaza became internally displaced since the start of the war on October 7 between Israel And Hamas, according to calculations by the NGO Save the Children based on data provided by the United Nations and the Palestinian Authority’s Central Statistical Office.

The NGO came to this conclusion based on a total of 1.9 million Palestinians displaced to other parts of the enclave due to Israeli bombing, taking into account that almost 85% of the population are minors and 50% are children.

These data imply that 11,900 children were forcibly displaced every day between 7 October and 21 December, the latest date included in displacement estimates.

Jason Lee, director of Save the Children in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, warned:

These are not just statistics: they are a stark reminder that the entire population is in real danger. Boys and girls are being robbed of any sense of security again and again.

As such, Save the Children called on the international community to “ensure an immediate and permanent ceasefire and for the Government of Israel to lift the conditions that have facilitated a meaningful humanitarian response, including unrestricted humanitarian access to all of Gaza and the restoration of entry into the Gaza Strip.” commercial goods.”
