TEHRAN – Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has painted a grim picture of harrowing conditions of children in Gaza, saying 25,000 Palestinian kids have become orphans as a result of Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged territory.
The rights group, according to Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoting Palestine’s Sama news agency, said that 25,000 children have lost one or both parents in Gaza since October 7, the day Israel started its bombing and shelling campaign in the coastal enclave.
Earlier, the Gaza Health Ministry announced that the number of those killed by the Israeli military has reached 26,422 with 65,087 wounded since the beginning of the current war on Gaza.
Apart from casualties, the relentless attacks on residential buildings, refugee camps and hospitals have inflicted a catalogue of miseries on the people of Gaza. – January 29, 2024
