Save the Children has published a new report on the impact of Israel’s onslaught on Palestinian children in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
It said the conflict “has inflicted unprecedented and potentially irreversible harm on Palestinian children, with consequences that threaten not only their individual futures but the very fabric of Palestinian society for generations to come”.
The report identified several short and long-term consequences of the conflict on Palestinian children.
It said children in Gaza face acute risks from explosive weapons, starvation, disease, and lack of essential services, while malnutrition, inadequate healthcare, and constant exposure to violence are inflicting lasting damage on their physical and cognitive development.
