UNICEF: Israel killed 500 children in Gaza
Middle East Monitor ^ | 8/23/14 | staff

Posted on 08/24/2014 3:45:40 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

Exactly! Hamas sacrificed their own children for jealous hatred.

Big round numbers always indicate a big lie. UNICEF is a terrorist organization.

Not Israel’s problem.
If Hamas doesn’t want its kids killed it needs to stop provoking its neighborhood.
If Hamas doesn’t care, it is up to the people of Gaza (who voted for them in the first place!) to get rid of them.

"She described the effects and damage of the Israeli war on the Palestinian children as "bad,""

Wow. That's pretty bad. It's like saying it's "bad." It's not "worse", but it's not better, either. It's definitely not good.

What I take from that is this: What Netanyahu did is not good, on the contrary.

UNICEF — aren't they one of the UN agencies that routinely let Hamas use their facilities for ammunition storage facilities and rocket launching sites? The Israelis aren't supposed to fire back because there are kids on site? Isn't this a bit over the top? One of the most antisemitic organizations on the planet is worried about collateral damage Hamas directly caused? Give me a break!

Quite a non-sequiter.
