The United Nations has included Israeli military and security forces on the “blacklist” of parties that committed “grave violations” against children in areas of armed conflict during the year 2023.
A UN report that has not yet been officially issued stated that “grave violations against children in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories increased by 155% during the year 2023,” and that there are 23,000 “grave violations” that still need confirmation due to the conditions in Gaza in the last quarter of the year. Year 2023.
Also, 7,837 violations were recorded against 4,247 Palestinian children in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and East Jerusalem, according to the report, which indicated that these violations were “committed by the Israeli army and illegal Israeli settlers.” He explained that the Israeli army and security forces are responsible for 5,698 of these violations, as they arrested 906 Palestinian children, and the Israeli army also obstructs children’s access to humanitarian aid in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a war on Gaza that has left nearly 122,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and about 10,000 missing amid famine and massive destruction.
Israel continues its war on Gaza despite two Security Council resolutions to stop the fighting immediately, and orders from the International Court of Justice to end the invasion of Rafah (south), and to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in the Strip.
It's sad.
