A Generation Under Fire: Gaza’s Children Between Death and Disability

Recent statistics indicate that approximately 50,000 children in Gaza have been killed or injured as a result of ongoing military operations—an explicit violation of international humanitarian law and the conventions on the protection of children in armed conflict. These figures reflect the scale of the physical and psychological catastrophe affecting an entire generation. Children are suffering from permanent physical disabilities and severe psychological trauma, in addition to being deprived of basic education and healthcare. The continuation of this situation threatens not only the future of these children but also the long-term stability of the entire society.
