In the three-week war between Israel and Palestinian militias in Gaza, the Jewish army has killed more minors than the annual total of minors killed in conflict zones around the world since 2019, the NGO Save the Children reported this Sunday.
Since the outbreak of war on October 7 more than 3,340 children and adolescents died in Gaza, as well as 33 in the West Bank and another 29 in Israel, a figure “higher than the number of minors killed in armed conflicts around the world in the course of a year” in 20 countries, according to the organisation. say. .
The dead children in the Strip represent the 40% of total Palestinian deaths in the entire enclave as a result of Israeli bombings, which have already exceeded 8,000, according to data from the Strip’s Ministry of Health.
