To mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, two Pakistani children have presented their own blood-written protest notes along with an open letter to save the children of Gaza, the victims of Israel’s relentless bombardment for the past year.

The two kids have also dedicated their recently bestowed awards to the children of Gaza, APP reports.

Ten-year-old Ubaydah al-Fiddhah Hafiah and her 12-year-old brother Ghulam Bishar Hafi, were honoured by the UN-KAKHTAH Postdoctoral DRR Multiversity, over their symbolic move of writing protest notes along with an open letter with their blood to global authorities and various UN bodies to highlight the plight of children in Gaza, Congo, Mozambique, Myanmar, Syria and other parts of the world.

The children’s campaign consisted of sequels. Their blood-written notes include:

  • “Cultivate peace for the children — Reap peace of the world”

  • “Let’s raise voice for the voiceless — the innocent children caught in the crossfires of war and aggression, like those horror-struck in Gaza, Congo, Mozambique, Myanmar, Syria and elsewhere”

  • “Humanitarian eyes needed to see the humanitarian crisis in Gaza”

  • “Break now, the criminal silence and shamelessness upon the ongoing infanticide in Gaza”

  • “Shredded bodies of innocent children in cradles beg for peace”
