 In its interview with Tanya Haj Hassan, a pediatrician and a member of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Al Jazeera television has announced about the negative effects of the criminal Israeli regime on the bodies and minds of children without Gaza defense saying that they are facing the problems of broken heads and skulls, burns, amputations, fractures and blindness. Tanya Haj Hassan has explained that, since the beginning of the attacks of the Zionist administration of Israel in the Gaza Strip on October 7, approximately ten thousand children have been martyred and added that in order to make this issue more clear, this situation should be compared to the war in Ukraine. The doctor of Doctors Without Borders said: During the first three months of the war in Ukraine, the United Nations said that the lives of Ukrainian children were destroyed on a scale that had not been seen since the Second World War, adding that, during that period, an average of two Ukrainian children were killed every day. He said compared to Palestine, more than a hundred children are killed every day in Gaza. Children of Gaza Tanya Haj Hassan added that this figure is far from the thousands of people who have had their upper and lower limbs amputated and that these children will continue to be crippled for the rest of their lives. Doctors Without Borders reports that more than 20,000 children have been orphaned and approximately 85% of the population of Gaza has been forced to leave their homes several times.
