“More Palestinian children were killed in Gaza in three weeks than children in conflict zones around the world were killed in an entire year,” write three Palestinian groups. They demand consequences.
According to the UN children’s fund Unicef, 3,450 children have been killed in the Gaza war so far. “Gaza has become a graveyard for children,” Unicef spokesman James Elder said during a briefing in Geneva. He did not name a source for the number.
Without deliveries of fuel, medicine, water and food, the current figures could soon be “just the tip of an iceberg,” Elder continued.
Fuel is needed, among other things, to operate the clinics’ generators, to treat water and for the emergency vehicles, said a spokesman for the World Health Organization (WHO). The UN representatives again called for an immediate ceasefire.
Human rights activists are calling for arrest warrants against Israelis
Three Palestinian human rights groups have called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue international arrest warrants against members of Israel’s government and military.
These must be directed primarily against those responsible for “international crimes against children,” said the organizations Al-Haq, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR).
It was also said that arrest warrants were issued in an ongoing war in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. This is proof that the chief prosecutor of the criminal court could initiate such a step even during active combat. The organizations referred to international arrest warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the children’s representative Maria Lwowa-Belowa.
“More Palestinian children were killed in Gaza in three weeks than children in conflict zones worldwide in an entire year,” the organizations wrote. 40 percent of the deaths in Gaza are children and 1,000 more children are missing.
Terrorists from Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip, and other terrorist groups attacked Israel on October 7th and carried out the worst massacre since the Holocaust. Israel responded with a military operation in the Gaza Strip. The aim is to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities, end its rule and bring the hostages kidnapped to the Gaza Strip back home. Israel accuses Hamas of using civilians as human shields.
