Watch... Gaza’s childhood in the crosshairs of the occupation

 Israeli occupation army continues its raids on the Gaza Strip for the eighth day in a row, leaving thousands of martyrs and wounded, including children, in the wake of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” launched by the resistance factions in Gaza, in response to the occupation and settlers’ attacks on the Palestinian people and their sanctities.

While the Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Saturday that the death toll as a result of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip amounted to 2,215 martyrs and 8,714 wounded, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says that more than 700 children have lost their lives in Gaza since the start of the Israeli bombing, calling for the protection of children there. Under international and humanitarian law.

The targeting of children - some of which have been documented in reports and video clips circulating on social media platforms - along with other victims as a result of the intense Israeli raids on Gaza, comes in light of a humanitarian situation described as catastrophic, exacerbated by the siege imposed on the Strip, with which services such as electricity and water have stopped, in addition to the destruction. The wide-scale attack affected residential buildings, vital facilities, and ambulances in the Gaza Strip.
