Israel killed almost 17,000 children in Gaza in one year: Rights group
Israeli forces have killed nearly 17,000 children in the besieged coastal enclave since October 7 of last year, according to Defense for Children International-Palestine.
“Israeli policies, nonstop bombardment, and ever-expanding ground invasion forcibly displaced children and their families from their homes, forced schools to close, starved children to death, detained and tortured children in Israeli military camps, and disabled thousands of children, many of whom suffer from life-long injuries,” the rights group said in a statement.
‘I never expected to go through this’: Emmy-winning Palestinian journalist Owda
As Gaza-based Bisan Owda has posted images and videos on social media of what she has seen during the past year of the war, she explains that no image can truly capture what people in Gaza have been through.
“It’s unimaginable. I never expected that I would be [going] through this and survive this. But I posted these pictures in particular because they are about my first time [being] displaced, the last time I saw my grandmother and a lot of other shocking things, including leaving Gaza, leaving my home and being homeless for the first time ever,” Owda told Al Jazeera.
“I am very close to my home, but I cannot go because of the bombings in the north of the Gaza Strip,” she added.
Last month, Owda and Al Jazeera’s AJ+ won an Emmy in the outstanding hard news feature story category for their documentary, It’s Bisan From Gaza – and I’m Still Alive. Owda has been at the forefront of reporting from Gaza since Israel launched its assault on the territory a year ago, bringing the stories of Palestinians to a global audience.
