Children are the most vulnerable victims of Israel’s war on Gaza. They are being starved, maimed, orphaned, and massacred.

The unspeakable horrors of bombs that Israel is dropping on Gaza will live with those children who escape death. 

A generation of traumatized amputees has been created. They have lost one or more limbs. Their limbs are amputated without anesthesia. So far, as many as 3,000 children in Gaza have lost limbs in the war. 

“Sham was standing near the door, and a piece of shrapnel hit her hand. I ran outside and found her hand, hanging by a thread,” her mother said.

Children are not only starved but also have no access to water. They drink water in puddles or dirty water from the sea. According to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), nine out of 10 children in Gaza are experiencing severe food poverty.

Save the Children says children’s worlds have been destroyed. Save the Children and UNICEF also say in the early weeks of the war, which has exceeded eight months, about 1,000 children were killed in a week.  

Again, Israel has intensified its attacks in the small open-air prison with 2.3 million inmates.

"The Gaza Strip is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child." UNICEF spokesperson James Elder says. "And day after day, that brutal reality is reinforced."

The brutal attacks in Gaza have made parents speechless in the face of reasonable questions by children.

“My children look into my eyes every day, they are searching for answers. I have no answers for them,” says Yousef, father of three.

UNICEF says one out of every 10 children killed in Gaza did not make their first birthday.

The number of children killed is not close to the figures given so far. The real death toll may emerge once bloodthirsty rulers in Israel stop their butchery in the tiny strip as thousands of children are missing under rubble.

Elder has recounted the story of a 13-year-old girl called Dina. Dina was injured and one leg was amputated. She also lost both of her parents and two brothers.

"But Dina hadn't lost hope," Elder said. "She told us about her dreams of being a lawyer. She said, 'I feel injustice; when I grow up, I will become a lawyer so that I can enjoy my rights and the rights of all children.'"

The day after Dina made those comments she was killed by an Israeli bomb.

What is the sin of Dina and the entire Palestinian children in Gaza and the occupied West Bank? Probably their sin is that they were born in Palestine!!!

These children don’t know that their fate was decided in the early 20th century when the colonizers decided to give large parts of their grandfathers’ lands to a community of violent Zionists. But now the descendants of the brutal settlers intend to purge the entire Palestine from Palestinians by every possible means, including genocide.
