The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has reported out of nearly 17,000 Palestinian children Israel has killed in the Gaza Strip since October last year virtually 2,100 were babies under the age of two.
“The number of Palestinian children – whether infants or children in general – killed by the Israeli army is horrifying, and the rate of their killing is unprecedented in the history of modern wars,” it said.
“It also represents a dangerous trend based on the dehumanization of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military targets Palestinians and their children daily, methodically, and widely in the most heinous and brutal ways possible, and virtually without pause for 10 consecutive months.”
Some 2 million people in the Gaza Strip are estimated to have been internally displaced – half of them children. They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel and medicine.
In July, UN experts sounded the alarm about the Palestinian children in the besieged territory losing their lives due to Israel’s “starvation campaign.”
The Israeli onslaught has since killed nearly 40,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 92,000 others, according to local health authorities.
More than 10 months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
