‘We must never give up. The little ones are there, eyes filled with terror in dark passages in Gaza, hostages to the obsession with possession within the most evil, stony hearted people.’[Dr David Halpin]
======================================
GAZA, (PIC)-- Israel has been accused of waging "war on the children" of Gaza after it emerged that over a quarter of the dead are under 18 years old, the “Telegraph” said on its website on Friday.
“The Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights, a Gaza-based human rights organization which works with the UN, has verified the deaths of 132 children between July 7 and July 21 via its field workers,” the British newspaper said.
It added, “The impact of the conflict on children has been brought home in part by social media, which has streamed distressing photographs of small, mutilated corpses around the world. One incident, in which four boys were killed while playing football on a beach, was particularly striking, partly because journalists had been playing with them shortly beforehand and witnessed what had happene”.
Human Rights Watch said in a statement that investigations of cases where there were similar casualties with no apparent military objective suggested Israel had committed war crimes.
"Israeli forces' failure to direct attacks at a military target violates the laws of war," a statement said. "Israeli forces may also have knowingly or recklessly attacked people who were clearly civilians, such as young boys, and civilian structures, including a hospital – laws-of-war violations that are indicative of war crimes."
