TEHRAN (Defapress) - “The number of Palestinian children – whether infants or children in general – killed by the Israeli army is horrifying, and the rate of their killing is unprecedented in the history of modern wars,” Euro-Med said.

“It also represents a dangerous trend based on the dehumanization of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military targets Palestinians and their children daily, methodically, and widely in the most heinous and brutal ways possible, and virtually without pause for 10 consecutive months,” Euro-Med continued.

Some 1.7 million people in the Gaza Strip are estimated to have been internally displaced – half of them children. They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel, and medicine.

In July, UN experts sounded the alarm about the Palestinian children in the besieged territory losing their lives due to Israel’s “starvation campaign.”
