The number of Palestinian children killed in Gaza over the past three weeks has officially exceeded the number of children who died in conflict zones around the world each year since 2019, according to human rights groups.
In the besieged Palestinian enclave, children make up about half the population and more than 40% of the total people killed in Gaza. That number is expected to climb as Israel’s military launches its ground operations into the territory, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said is the “second stage” of the country’s attack.
“Three weeks of violence have ripped children from families and torn through their lives at an unimaginable rate. The numbers are harrowing and with violence not only continuing but expanding in Gaza right now, many more children remain at grave risk,”“One child’s death is one too many, but these are grave violations of epic proportions. A ceasefire is the only way to ensure their safety,” he continued.
