Sana'a - Saba:
On Palestinian Children's Day (April 5), Intisaf Organization for Women and Children's Rights has released a statement detailing the devastating impact of the ongoing aggression on children in the Gaza Strip.
The organization reported that since October 7, 2023, approximately 19,000 children have been killed and around 39,000 have lost one or both parents.
Intisaf condemned Israel's violations/aggression against Palestinian children, stating that they are being deprived of their basic rights and childhoods. The organization accused Israeli enemy of violating international conventions and norms.
The statement cited staggering figures: over 50,669 deaths, including 19,000 children, 274 infants killed under bombardment, 876 children under one year old killed, 115,225 wounded (69% women and children), and over 11,200 missing (70% children and women).
Intisaf alleged that since March 8, 2025, Israeli enemy has been killing and wounding 100 children daily, with surviving children living in fear, hunger, and displacement. The organization criticized the "shameful silence" of the international community, including the UN.
The statement highlighted that children comprise 51% of Gaza's population and are disproportionately affected by the aggression. It reported that over 39,384 children have been orphaned, with 17,000 losing both parents. 1 An estimated 1.9 million Palestinians, including many children, have been forcibly displaced.
