It is never easy to put into words the horrors that Palestine is experiencing. There is a risk of making it useless. Even at the risk of doing so, Icelander Bragi Gudbrandssonstaff of United Nationshe dared to say what was on his mind. One day before spring he said: ““The violent death of children is almost unique in history.”. But the images of children mutilated, burned alive, on the brink of starvation or buried under their homes and schools destroyed by bombs are more images than any evidence. go. When videos and photos are circulating on social networks, they panic. The war crimes committed by the state of Israel in Gaza and the West Bank cannot be hidden in the trash.
At this time it is not the government of the Strip or what remains, or its health authority, or any other of the occupied territories that opposes these violations of international law. It was done by workers like Gudbrandsson from a company that was going down, and he had just witnessed when children were the first victims of the ongoing genocide. The vice president of the Committee on the Rights of the Child is a speech like the highest authority in that area, Ann Skelton from South Africa: “More children died in this war than women and men. That’s a lot,” he said, an international consultant who studied at the University of Pretoria.
According to figures in constant progress by the Commission, About 17 thousand children killed, 6,168 injured and thousands more missing in Gaza. Child victim data in search of time between October 7, 2023 and September 10 the last On that day, which will soon be one year old, Hamas took Israel by surprise in a devastating attack that ended with more than 1,200 dead, 6,000 injured and 253 kidnapped, which was immediately repelled.
What follows is already known. Until this Monday, September 23, the massacres have continued for 353 days. A strong majority on Palestine with the program led by Benjamin Netanyahu which has strong support from the United States and the European Union.
Other data provided by Skelton and Gudbrandsson expand the scope of the humanitarian disaster. At least one million Palestinian children have been displaced, 21,000 have been reported missing, 20,000 have lost one or both parents, 17,000 are alone or separated from their families, dozens have died from starvation and 3,500 children are at risk. death due to lack of food.
The outspoken Icelandic official told a press conference: “I don’t think we’ve ever seen crime as serious as what we’ve seen in Gaza. There are three of the six most serious crimes, which there is no doubt that Israel is committing: killing and maiming children, attacking hospitals and schools, and denying access to people. “These are very serious crimes that are rarely seen.” The Vice President of the Council has a well-known job as the coordinator of the emergency team that has been monitoring the situation of children in Ukraine since the war with Russia began.
Skelton added: “We know that under international humanitarian law, which Israel acknowledges it is obligated to comply with, killing civilian targets on this scale is unacceptable… Children are always the city“. The Committee on the Rights of the Child also concluded that there were “unnecessary and unjustified” attacks with the use of explosives and large-scale effects in crowded areas.
The United Nations also condemns the continued deportations, arbitrary arrests and prolonged detention of large numbers of Palestinian children at the hands of Israeli forces. Most are imprisoned without charges or trials and are even prevented from accessing defense with lawyers or contacting their families.
Turkish news agency Anadolu made a report last February titled: “Scholasticide: how Israel systematically destroyed Palestinian education in Gaza.” Until that time, Israel had destroyed 370 schools and had left more than 620,000 students out of school. If thousands of Palestinian children survive the humanitarian disaster they are enduring in the Sea, it will not be possible for them to return to school.
In the same article, Palestinian historian Abdel Razzaq Takriti of Rice University in the United States said that Israel’s goal is to destabilize the state, not only by killing the people, but by killing their knowledge.
Another major problem of the survival conditions of Palestinian children in Gaza, today an empty area on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, is that its health infrastructure has killed 80 percent and half a thousand workers in the service have been killed, according to report The Minister of Health of Palestine, Majed Abu Ramadan, at the last WHO conference held at the end of May in Geneva, Switzerland.
Last week, attacks by the thousands alcoholic beverages (some old communication devices) and walkie-talkies that Israel blew up in Lebanon, although it did not officially take responsibility for the operations. The conflict has now moved to the southern part of the country where the Netanyahu government is moving against the Hezbollah forces, the target of a sophisticated operation that also reaches inside Syria. Many children were injured and two died. It is the supply balance and the sadness of children under the dirt in the middle of the war and it can leave as its main result the extension of the conflict to the whole area.
