A statement from the Palestinian movement Hamas, posted on its Telegram channel, reports a devastating toll on children in the Gaza Strip since October 7, with at least 5,500 children confirmed killed. The statement highlights the distressing fact that over 1,800 more minors remain missing following shelling by Israeli forces. It further emphasizes that 80% of the 30,000 people affected by the conflict in Gaza are women and children.
Hamas has appealed to the United Nations (UN) to intervene and safeguard the children of Gaza, urging the organization to take substantial measures to halt what it refers to as "massacres" against them. Additionally, the movement is calling for Israel to be placed on a "list of shame" for violating children's rights. Hamas asserts that the Israeli actions will not succeed in intimidating Palestinians or breaking their resolve to resist.
