According to various reports releasing victims in the Gaza Strip, children are the main victims of the crimes of the al-Quds colonial regime. A look at the statistics proves this. More than 12 thousand 300 people were martyred as a result of attacks by the Zionist regime, of which more than 5,100 children were among the martyrs, which means 42 percent of the martyrs were children. More than 30,000 people were injured, 70 percent of whom were children and women. 3,750 people are missing, 1,800 of whom are children. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that on average every 10 minutes, one child dies in Gaza and 2 children are injured. Apart from that, dozens of premature babies are also at risk of dying due to lack of fuel in hospitals. Gaza Children The important point is that the Zionist regime deliberately bombarded schools in Gaza. In less than 24 hours, three schools had been bombed. Last Friday night, the Zionist army targeted the al-Falah school in the southern Gaza Strip. On Saturday, al-Fakoura school in northern Gaza was targeted, and at least 200 people were martyred, many of them children. Along with the al-Fakoura school, the Tal al-Zaatar school in northern Gaza was also bombed.

This event proves that the Zionist regime, which has not achieved its goals by targeting hospitals and health centers in Gaza and there is no news about Israeli prisoners or Hamas tunnels under hospitals, is now making schools the target of its attacks. Another important issue is the deliberate attack on the al-Fakoura school in Jabalia camp carried out in the context of this school being affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and this agency also announced that it is daily informing schools and centers- refugee center for the Zionist military so that it is safe from attack. Adnan Abu Hasna, UNRWA spokesman in the Gaza Strip, announced last week that 50 schools affiliated with the agency were bombed. Apart from Palestinian children who were the main victims of war and Zionist crimes, there were also many surviving children who lost their parents and family members as a result of the war. Many of them suffer from illnesses and are unable to receive treatment for various reasons, including the closure of health centers due to bombing and fuel shortages. Undoubtedly, even if the war against Gaza ends now, the number of children martyred will increase rapidly. At the same time, the international community is still only a spectator, and due to the full support of the United States, France, Britain and Germany for the Zionist regime, it is practically impossible to take action against the Zionists and stop the killing of children.
