According to a report from the global non-profit organization for children’s rights, Save the Children, more children were killed in Gaza in three weeks than in all the wars worldwide since 2019.
The impact on people of the Palestinian-Israeli issue’s intensification has been disastrous. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, called for the safety of civilians during his remarks on the crisis earlier this month. “If men decide to fight amongst themselves, let them do it. However, Putin emphasized, “Leave women and children alone.”
Over the last three weeks, the number of children killed in Gaza has surpassed the number of children killed in conflicts worldwide in any one year since 2019.
That’s based on a report from the global non-profit organization for children’s rights, Save the Children, which has its headquarters in London.
Based on information from the Israeli and Gazan health ministries, the charity’s calculations indicate that 3,195 children have reportedly died in Gaza since the escalation on October 7, with a further 33 children dying in the West Bank and 29 in Israel, for a total of 3,257 deaths.
According to the charity, that is the largest number of children murdered in an armed conflict since 2019 and significantly greater than the number of children killed in any other conflict in almost 20 countries in 2023.
According to the yearly reports released by the United Nations Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict, the prolonged Palestinian-Israeli conflict has had a particularly detrimental impact on the world’s youngest population.
