While children were celebrating “Children’s Day” here in India on 14th November, the same day there were children in Gaza who had just lost everything – parents, family members, friends, relatives, their own limbs, and in many cases their lives (till 14th November, 4650 children). 1755 children have not yet been traced. Many lie injured.
Jason Lee, Save the Children's Country Director in the occupied Palestinian territory, says: "Babies are being born into a nightmare, a humanitarian catastrophe. Their families are being cut off from the basics. Premature babies dying in incubators. …The violence must stop. We need a ceasefire. We need it now."
Living in makeshift and flimsy tents the children are exposed to outbreaks of disease and harsh natural conditions. It has rained heavily recently and winter is soon approaching.
