The painful story of missing children in Gaza

The father of Abdullah Sari, a three-year-old Palestinian boy who He went missing during the repeated displacements of his family from Gaza City to the south, he says: When we were fleeing to the south during the barbaric bombardment of the Zionist regime army near Salah al-Din Street, Abdullah went missing and we have not heard from him since two months ago. We don’t have a son. My wife is sick and constantly has nervous and hysterical attacks.

He said in a conversation with al-Arabi al-Jadeed: There are many children like Abdullah who are missing in Gaza. We assume that they have been martyred, but we hope that they will be found alive. A painful issue for all children in Gaza is that they know the atmosphere of war and bombing and even know the names of missiles. This is the painful reality that the children of Gaza live among.

Ahmad Abu Sultan, an 8-year-old Palestinian boy, is one of these missing children in the Gaza Strip. During the brutal attacks of the Zionists, Khan Younes disappeared and there is no trace of him.

Ahmad’s mother says: I don’t know if my son is alive or not, and if he is alive, He finds something to eat. Ahmed had a lot of passion for life and the future. He wanted to be a footballer and wore the Barcelona team uniform. Many families in Gaza have lost their children; Children who still did not know anything about life.

Ramah Saleh, a 4-year-old girl from Gaza, is one of the other children who went missing during the frequent displacement of Palestinians in Rafah city. And there is no information about his fate like other missing children.

40% of the missing in Gaza are children

In this context, “Salah Abdul Ati”, the head of the International Committee for the Protection of the Rights of the Palestinian Nation, announced that since the start of the brutal Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, about 16 thousand children have been martyred and 25 thousand children They are also injured. The occupying regime has clearly violated all international charters and resolutions related to children’s rights, and the war waged by Israel is actually a war against children.

He clarified. : Between 10 and 15 thousand people have gone missing since the beginning of the genocidal war of the occupying regime against Gaza. Of course, there are many families who have not declared their missing persons. More than 40% of the missing include children; Especially the one-year-old minister’s one-year-old children who cannot introduce themselves and do not know their parents’ names. Also, the Zionist enemy kidnapped some of these children from Gaza. The invaders have abducted more than 11,000 people, at least 1,000 of whom are children under 10 years old. Also, 6,000 Palestinians from Gaza are still being held by the Zionists, 600 of whom are children, and there is no information about their detention and life conditions. Zionism against a small area like the Gaza Strip and the killing of a large number of children shows the ugly level of the occupation’s crimes against children. The case of missing children in Gaza will be one of the most complicated cases in the future; Because the Zionist enemy has destroyed all centers, associations, human rights institutions, headquarters and other related institutions in Gaza, and other official and unofficial bodies in Gaza cannot return to their normal work.
