The war is on its sixth week and the Israeli forces are fighting in the center of Gaza City. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 11,000 people have been killed in Gaza alone in air and artillery strikes by the Israel defence force since October 7. Heartbreakingly, the count includes more than 4,000 children and around 3,000 women.
As said by the UNICEF, the United Nations International Children”s Emergency Fund, more than 700,000 children have been displaced and forced to leave everything behind in Gaza. Considering the situation, the organisation called for an immediate ceasefire for “sustained and unimpeded access to provide assistance and safe release of all abducted children”.
As said by Israel, Hamas are using Hospitals as instruments of war. Even though Israel is experiencing global pressure for an immediate ceasefire and restoration of peace on the Strip, Tel Aviv is not ready to stop striking the city, irrespective of hospitals and refugee camps, until the whole Hamas held hostages are let free.
