Children are the main victims of the war in Gaza

James Elder, Spokesperson of the United Nations Children's Organization (UNICEF) has said: 600,000 children in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, are facing hunger, living in fear and facing the risk of being targeted at any time by the Israeli forces. UNICEF has distributed a video of Elder talking about the suffering of children who continue to suffer in Rafah under Israeli attacks and after 1.5 million people were driven from their homes by the occupying soldiers of the occupying regime.

He said: "Anyone who has the feelings of a parent who is concerned about their children or cares about the children's feelings should stop this torture in Rafah."

Lynn Hastings, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in the occupied territories (Israel) has said that malnutrition among Palestinian children in Gaza has reached an alarming and unprecedented level.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has also said that the food security situation in the Gaza Strip is very bad. These reports clearly show that the army and the fascist regime in Tel Aviv have decided to carry out deliberate genocide against the Palestinians and that is why most of those killed or injured in the war in Gaza are children and young people.

In the past six months alone, among the more than 33,000 victims of the genocide, more than 14,000 and 350 of them are children, who are 44 percent of the war victims, a number that reaches more than 70 percent if women and mothers will be included.

In fact, the occupation forces kill four children every hour in Gaza, and in addition, more than 43 thousand and 349 children have lost their parents or one of the parents, where they have no one to run to when bombs are dropped on their heads by the Zionist invaders. This causes serious psychological and emotional harm to them. Now after all these horrific killings against Palestinian children, how many more children must be brutally killed in this way before the international community, the United Nations Security Council and the Human Rights Council take action to hold them accountable? legally the administration due to these terrible crimes?

Undoubtedly, the children who have survived the attacks and killings of the Zionists do not believe in avoiding the threats and other dangers they face from the regime. Israel's apartheid regime's violation of the entire system of children's rights has seriously affected their basic rights such as the rights to life, health, education, water, food and medical treatment.

95% of the residents of Gaza face severe food shortages, where the situation is worse among children where children under the age of five in Gaza face the greatest risk of malnutrition. Children, pregnant and lactating mothers, and people with disabilities are at greater risk of malnutrition, as the illegal Israeli regime continues to block food and water from entering Gaza, as well as bombing bakeries and bakeries as well as agricultural production.

News sources and social networks have published a harrowing video showing a Palestinian child in Gaza who walked 12 kilometers barefoot in search of food. UNICEF estimates that 1,000 children in Gaza have been mutilated since the conflict began in October. Human rights organizations say that 10 children in Gaza face the risk of amputation every day. They say surgeries and amputations for children in hospitals are usually done without anesthesia.

Also, since the start of the al-Aqsa Storm operation, the Israeli soldiers have been holding 500 Palestinian children in prison, where many families do not know the fate of their arrested children. Despite the fact that the atrocities of the Zionist regime are considered war crimes according to international law, the action of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to turn a blind eye to these crimes has made the regime turn a corner and continue to carry out the atrocities regardless of anything.
