There may be arguments about war. The human community has enough time to test it. But by killing children, mutilating them, separating them from their parents, no argument for war or resistance can be strengthened.
17,000 children have died in the war between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Israeli government. Even among those who have survived so far, toys have fallen out of the hands of thousands of children. Shoes and sandals are scattered along with the feet. Parents are killed or separated and the closest companion is lost.
Their faces are covered in concrete dust blown from buildings destroyed by Israel's deadly weapons, the fumes of the gunpowder make it difficult to breathe.
His bloodied face disturbs everyone. The brutal conditions of the war are expanding in such a way that 71,000 children in Gaza are currently facing one of the toughest struggles in human history for a single bite of food. Photos/videos of starving children frantically tapping empty dishes are reaching the world from Gaza.
That is why anyone and everyone who has little sense left should be able to feel the plight of the children of Gaza. Voices should be raised against rulers and groups that persecute children in the name of war. Pressure should be created to make immediate efforts to save the children there from starvation.
Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,400 people, including citizens of 38 countries, including Israel. At that time, 37 children died. The attack launched by Israel in retaliation has been challenging human civilization for the past 20 months.
Although the ceasefire has been in effect since last January, Israel has resumed attacks since March 5. Israel claims from the beginning that the attack was aimed at Hamas, but this is not the case. Schools and hospitals have also been targeted. About 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in various attacks by Israel.
It is mentioned in the report of the United Nations and some other relief organizations that more than 17 thousand children have died. Palestinian authorities claim that 274 of these are newborns and more than 800 are children under the age of one. In the same period, more than 50 children died of starvation and 17 children died due to cold in tents set up for displaced people, according to the World Health Organization. More than 1 lakh 15 thousand children were injured and mutilated in the war It is speculated to be a
. Fifty-seven children are reported to have died of malnutrition in Gaza since the Israeli blockade began on March 2. There is no accounting for the psychological problems that children have faced since the war began. This kind of news coming from Gaza reminds us of the atrocities committed by the German ruler Hitler on the Jews. The time the Palestinian children suffered is sure to be painted as another bad stain on human civilization.
s may have their own arguments regarding war. The human community has enough time to test it. But by killing children, mutilating them, separating them from their parents, no argument for war or resistance can be strengthened. It only confirms the war frenzy of the most insensitive ruler. For 20 months, Israel has been walking in this gorge.
because even in the 21st century, the power of the ruler to move forward to wipe out the citizens of a country under this or that pretext is not visible, nor is the conscience visible. The issue of Hamas's presence in Palestine is not about the wishes of its citizens or children.
Children are not born there by their own will. But after birth, they have the same right to life, right to safety and protection, right to nutritious food, right to vaccination-health-education as children born in Israel or America. But Israel has starved the children there and brought them to the dilemma of life and death, compared to which the discussion of other basic rights of children has become irrelevant.
In spite of information and possibilities, if the situation of Palestinian children dying of hunger continues, the future will not forgive both the parties directly involved in the war and all the rulers of the world who can influence the war.
After creating a humanitarian crisis in Palestine, Israel has eased its blockade by backing down slightly due to criticism from around the world. As a result, some trucks carrying relief materials have been able to enter Palestine easily. But in the words of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, "The relief so far is like pouring a drop of water on a fire everywhere." While Gaza needs a large amount of aid.' Because, this effort is not only a question of protecting the children of Palestine or its citizens from hunger, but also a question of human consciousness and sensibility of the 21st century.
