3 Jan 2025 – Some 1,000 children have had limbs amputated without anesthesia in the Gaza Strip since Israel began its brutal bombing campaign on 7 October, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said.
It added that allowing the continued shelling of Gaza means green-lighting the killing of more children.
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has previously stated that nearly 70 per cent of the casualties of the aggression were children and women.
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has surged to 20,674, the Health Ministry in the territory said yesterday.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra also said that 54,536 people had been injured in the months-long offensive.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with half of the coastal territory’s housing damaged or destroyed and nearly 2 million people displaced within the densely populated enclave amid acute shortages of food and clean water.
