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.

The Israeli authorities distributed 22 eviction and demolition orders for Palestinian homes in Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem, Sunday. The Jerusalem Governorate stated that Israeli forces raided the town and distributed the eviction orders. It explained the orders gave homeowners a week to vacate their homes before the demolitions would begin.

In a subsequent statement, the Governorate confirmed Israeli authorities distributed 22 eviction and demolition orders for several homes, noting that these measures were a prelude to the demolition orders. The Governorate did not specify the number of homes affected by the orders, nor whether the orders included both eviction and demolition. The Governorate added that Israeli authorities previously distributed stop-work orders for approximately 20 homes in the town, revising an earlier statement that had indicated the number was 30 according to Al Jarmaq.
