The data was released by Save the Children this Friday

More than 10,000 children have lost their lives in attacks in the Gaza Strip since the war between Israel and the Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas began on October 7, the Save the Children organization reported on Friday (12).

“According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 10,000 children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza in nearly 100 days of violence, with thousands missing, presumably buried under rubble,” the statement said. .

According to Save the Children, 1% of the Palestinian enclave’s total child population “has been killed” and children who have survived the violence “are enduring unspeakable horrors, including life-threatening injuries, burns, illnesses, inadequate medical care and the loss of parents and other people. Dear.”

The organization also points out that children in Gaza “have been forced to flee violence, often repeatedly, with nowhere safe to go, and face the terror of an uncertain future.”

He also recalls that “about a thousand children in Gaza have lost one or both legs” and many others have undergone amputations “without anesthesia and will need medical care for the rest of their lives”.

More than 40% of people killed in the Hamas-run enclave since the attack on Israel and the escalation of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories on October 7 are children, the NGO reported.

In 100 days of violence, “a record number of serious violations against children were reported, including 370 schools in Gaza damaged or destroyed, according to UNICEF data, and attacks on 94 hospitals and health facilities in Gaza, according to reports of the World Health Organization (WHO), along with the abductions of children in Israel and the deaths of 33 Israeli children.”

“For every day that passed without a definitive ceasefire, an average of 100 children were killed. There can never be any justification for the murder of children. The situation in Gaza is monstrous and represents a plague on our common humanity,” he has declared. Jason Lee, Save the Children director for the Palestinian territories.

Finally, it highlights that despite the record number of children killed and maimed, the international community continues to fail to act and calls for a permanent ceasefire to save and protect the lives of children in Gaza.

Lee also called on the Israeli government to allow the unrestricted flow of aid and the resumption of commercial goods entering Gaza to prevent children from dying of hunger and disease. .
