War in Gaza: 21,000 children missing
The International Save the Children Alliance has reported that approximately 21,000 Palestinian children in Gaza are either displaced, detained, or buried in mass or unmarked graves.
The organization highlighted an increase in the number of children separated from their families due to intensified Israeli attacks on Rafah in southern Gaza.
International media, citing Palestinian officials, have reported that around 17,000 children in Gaza are either separated from their families or missing, with about 4,000 children still trapped under rubble or buried in mass or unmarked graves.
The organization has confirmed instances where Palestinian children have been arbitrarily detained, possibly transferred out of Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza continues to report that over 15,000 children have lost their lives in Israeli attacks, with nearly half of them unidentifiable.
According to reports from this organization, the United Nations has warned of the potential detention of thousands, including children, in Gaza, and has documented cases of mistreatment in detention by Israeli forces.
The ongoing violence in Gaza has severely disrupted communications, making casualty reporting and identification challenging for medical teams amidst attacks on hospitals.
