Israel’s War on The Children of Gaza

“The reality on the ground is more difficult than the image” says Anas Al Sharif.

Starvation is hitting north Gaza in a new and vicious manner, he points out as he films starving children and women.

“Three-year-old  Amjad Al Qanouh suffers from acute malnutrition because the Israeli occupation army has banned humanitarian aid from entering north Gaza”

Truth be told, the ban has always been enforced, ever since since Israel waged war on the enclave after 7 October, 2023.

Our bodies are collapsing under the weight of hunger and thirst while our minds tire by wounds that do not end while the sun beats down on us with mercy with disease festering like fire spreading among us with missiles, bombs, rockets rain down on us for the last 250 days of aggression.We ask God only for patience and speedy relief, writes Al Sharif.

Gaza is being intentionally punished with its people starved and the worst is in the north of the enclave. Although the situation is bad everywhere.

This is a war against children UNICEF spokesman Michael Elder says. What is needed is a ceasefire to stop the killing, starvation and devastation of Gaza.

“…so much suffering has been inflicted on Gaza. The intentions must surely, be clear, the absolute devastation of Gaza – indeed, its aleady happened, homes, hospitals, schools, universities, agriculture, the economy, devastated. And still the bombs fall. But the many, many thousands of killed children is ample evidence of what UNIICEF deemed months ago, to be a “war on children”. There is and there only has been one solution to this, to end this suffering and that is a ceasefire…”

More children have been killed in Gaza in six months than all of the other war zones around the world in three years multiplied by four says Dr Norman Finkelstein, an academic, specializing in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

More than 20,000 children have been killed in the last eight months of Israeli slaughter. This while the number of women killed since that time is registered at 15000.

The total number of civilians that have been killed stands at 37,000 with over 87,00 injured.

Israel will not stop in its genocide of Gaza. The children, women, men and old people shouldn’t be forgotten. Their names should be imprinted on every wall and website as a reminder of the heinous Israeli war crimes egged on by their western supporter states on top of which is the USA.

Israeli Official: ‘Life in The North is Dead’

Head of the Israeli Regional Council Moshe Davidovich expressed sorrow over the situation in the north, saying: “It’s a feeling we’ve experienced before, and we wish we could be rid of it.”

In an interview published by Israel’s Channel 14 on Sunday, Davidovich noted that “the residents of the north have been displaced and subjected to relentless shelling for nearly two years.”

Following the increasing number of Israeli soldiers injured in attacks by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon in response to the aggression, Davidovich called on his government to take action to “minimize casualties.”

He also raised another important point, saying: “Everyone is now embracing the residents of the north and saying they are with us, but at the same time I hear that the government intends to cut the north’s budget.” He asked: “How can this be?” describing the Tel Aviv government’s actions toward its own residents as “neglect.”

Life in the North is Nearly Dead

Davidovich addressed the head of the occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, saying: “People here are unemployed, agriculture is nearly dead, and tourism has come to a standstill,” urging them to take action and not simply ignore the situation.

He criticized his government’s intention to “cut budgets,” saying: “We give generously, but I don’t want to hear that word. It’s inappropriate and incorrect, and ultimately, it represents a law that harms us.”

Regarding the settlers in northern occupied Palestine, Davidovich said it is not right for them to remain there, describing the situation as difficult after two arduous years, adding that a recurring scene is their “descending to shelters.”

Israel Surprised by Hezbollah’s Response

Israeli media outlets report that the “political leaders” in the occupation government are shocked by Hezbollah’s response and feel powerless in the face of it.

Other media outlets report that “living in the north is not easy, and the situation is more complex than it was during the 2023-2024 war,” while Yedioth Ahronoth asserts that Hezbollah is neither disintegrating nor collapsing, and consistently succeeds in maintaining an organized chain of command and control.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv acknowledges that the party “remains alive and active, launching rockets even deep into Israeli territory, and is not firing indiscriminately.”

Channel 12 admits that the Israeli army was surprised by Hezbollah’s attack despite warnings, and that its soldiers’ assessments of the party’s capabilities were incorrect. JO24
