Dr. Margaret Harris, the spokesperson of the World Health Organization, also pointed out the dire health situation in the Gaza Strip and announced that the overcrowding in the health centers is terrible and The employees of this organization in Gaza cannot travel between emergency departments and health centers for fear of stepping on people and corpses. He believed that the world allows such scenes to happen and the suffering of the people of Gaza to continue. The sick and wounded here are in terrible pain and are deprived of access to water and food. UNICEF announced that 2023 was the bloodiest year for Palestinian children and violence against Palestinian children reached an unprecedented level. . Gaza is the most dangerous place for children on the planet. The massacre of this number of children in Israel’s aggression against Gaza shows how these children are targeted in a discriminatory way (compared to other children in the world). It is very unfortunate that the thousands of children who are massacred every day in Gaza have become mere numbers and statistics. We call Israel’s war against Gaza a war against children.
