After 300 days of the genocide of Gaza at least 16,314 Palestinian children were killed in Israel’s devastating offensive on the 364-kilometer Strip since last 7 October, 2023, local authorities said on Thursday.
The victims included 35 children who starved to death due to Israel’s crippling blockade on the enclave, Gaza’s Government Media Office said in a statement, on day 300 of Israeli massacres.
“Some 10,980 women, 885 medics, 165 journalists and 79 civil defense personnel were also killed on the Israeli onslaught,” it added according to Anadolu.
The media office said seven mass graves were discovered in Gaza since 7 October 7 from which 520 bodies were recovered.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza.
Nearly 39,500 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 91,000 injured, according to local health authorities, the Turkish news agency reported.
