UNICEF has said that the Israeli occupation killed around 500 Palestinian children during the war on the Gaza Strip and wounded around 3,000 others.
Chief of UNICEF's Gaza Field Office Pernille Ironside said that 469 children were killed. The number is expected to rise.
She described the effects and damage of the Israeli war on the Palestinian children as "bad," noting that nine children were killed in the last 48 hours.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced a higher number. They said that 560 children were killed and 11,000 wounded.
Meanwhile, three children were killed on Thursday in Al-Nafaq Street in the north-east of the Gaza Strip. Several international organisations said that targeting children during the war mounts to war crimes and perpetrators must be held account for them.
UNICEF stressed that children in Gaza are experiencing difficult living conditions. They make up around half of Gaza's population, 1.8million. UNICEF said that the Israeli occupation has destroyed the houses of more than 50,000 children.
Very wise statement. AKA “truth”.
and to think, as a child, I was brainwashed into giving my pennies to UNICEF. What a fool I was.
Don’t feel bad. They’ve had mission creep, in a negative direction, over the years.
Did I hear from Unicef when Hamas was sending missiles into Israel? I don’t think so.
Israel could turn this around and offer to evacuate all Paleo children to Egypt, “for the duration of hostilities.”
Of course, Hamas would kill those children before it would let their human shields leave.
I doubt they killed even 50.
UNICEF: Israel unintentionally killed 500 children in Gaza used human shields
Hamas has a habit of reusing dead children to stage their “events”. Very difficult to know the real number.
Israel gives Moslems land and Moslems illegally import tens of thousands of missiles to bomb Israelis. Moslems have turned garza into a war zone and it’s obvious there will have to be many, many more casualties before the danger is removed. Suggestion to any Moslems who don’t want to die for Allah: move to an Arab country Now. While you can still escape the destruction you and/ or your terrorist leaders have brought on.
You’re right on every count.
How many were beheaded?
The UN, a bunch of Marxists who are Anti Freedom and Anti Israeli. John Birch is right... get us out of the UN..
Incredibly, Israel tries to minimize enemy casualties. But despite this superhuman effort at making war into some kind of kindergarten ice cream party, it’s obvious that there will be many. Many MANY more casualties necessarily incurred in gaza before the danger there is removed And anyway all the casa terrorists do is make ridiculous statements and threats and demands - so a negotiated demilitarization is not in the cards. Therefore, the necessary job will be done the hard way — gaza parents who don’t want their children exposed to the war their terrorist “leaders” have brought on should definitely take them out to a Muslim country away from the destruction the gazans now face. The threat will be destroyed no matter what bulksh@t or hollering comes out of the terrorist murderers or their supporters ( And if you were an Israeli whose kindergarten child was strafed by one of your thousands of bombs, you’d demand your government destroy the gaza threat, too. So let’s not hear any more crying about children. You or your murdering “ leaders” started this fire and now you either stay in it or get the hell out. Your choice. End of issue. )
And that's all we ever need to know
How can anyone know who killed how many kids when the perpetrators of the aggression against the Israelis are known liars, it’s their religious right to lie to the infidels, and they are known for staging deaths of their own, as well actually killing their own for the propaganda, and using them as human shields to protect their weaponry, assets, and to hide behind with no remorse should the children lose their lives in the event. Life means nothing to the Islamists period. NOTHING.
The UN has the credibility of the Islamists as they have an agenda for their own survival. Nobody including the U.S. can be believed anymore.
That's the United Negro College Fund symbol, not the United Nations Children's Fund.
And stupidly so.
And thousands of kitties and puppies too!! What do they do? Shake the Magic 8 Ball and whatever number comes up that’s it? Remember the 100,000 civilians the US military was supposed to have killed in Iraq? If they can come up with those numbers then HAMAS killed 500,000 kindergarten children in Israel.
Occupation?
