More 10 thousand minors died in the Gaza Strip in just over three months Israel’s brutal military offensive.
Thousands more are missing, believed to be buried under the rubble, Save the Children said.
Boys and girls from Gaza account for more than 40% of the total dead in nearly 100 days of war, more than 23,400 people, in addition to the nearly 8,000 bodies estimated to be buried in the rubble.
“Children in the Gaza Strip who have survived violence are suffering unspeakable horrors, including life-altering injuries, burns, illness, inadequate medical care, and the loss of their parents and other loved ones,” the non-governmental organization said.
The 10,000 children killed represent 1% of the enclave’s 1.1 million child population, according to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry.
Children who survived the bombings “were forced to flee violence, often repeatedly, with no safe place to go and facing the horror of an uncertain future.”
“Around a thousand children in the Gaza Strip have lost one or both legs, many have had them amputated without anesthesia, and will require lifelong medical care,” Save the Children says.
Others are at risk of starvation and disease as famine looms ever closer, in addition to the mental damage inflicted on surviving children who live with the complete destruction of infrastructure including homes, schools and hospitals, destroying their future. says the NGO.
“Every day without a definitive ceasefire, an average of 100 boys and girls are killed. There can be no justification for killing children.
“The situation in the Gaza Strip is appalling and a scourge for all humanity,” lamented Jason Lee, director of Save the Children in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
“For almost 100 days, children have been paying the price for a conflict in which they have nothing to do. “They are scared, injured, mutilated, displaced,” he added.
Save the Children criticized the international community’s failure to stop the conflict, which has affected the enclave’s child population, who face grave violations every day while the conditions to provide them with the humanitarian assistance they need simply do not exist. .”
For this reason, the organization called for a permanent ceasefire “to save and protect the lives of the children of Gaza.”
Except, called on Israel to allow an unlimited flow of aid and resuming the import of commercial products into Gaza to prevent children from dying from hunger and disease.
In November, Save the Children reported that when the number of children killed reached 4,000, it was the highest number of children killed in any conflict worldwide each year since 2019.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called Gaza a “children’s cemetery” due to the unprecedented number of minors killed in the current war in the enclave between Israel and Hamas. (EFE)
