Journalists and Influencers Unite to Save Gaza's Children
In a poignant appeal, journalists and social media influencers, including those from the Gaza Strip, have launched a campaign using the hashtag #Save_the_Children_of_Gaza to raise awareness about the plight of children amid ongoing violence in the region. The campaign highlights the devastating impact of the Israeli occupation, which has not only resulted in the loss of lives but has also robbed children of their innocence and safety. The situation in Gaza has escalated to alarming levels, with reports indicating that more than 17,385 children have died since the onset of the latest conflict, surpassing the total number of child fatalities in global conflicts from 2019 to 2022.
The video shared by Al Jazeera Net features testimonies and data from reputable sources, including UNICEF and the UN, underscoring the urgent need for international intervention. The government media office in Gaza has consistently called on global leaders and organizations to act against what they describe as a genocide against children. With women and children comprising nearly 70% of the casualties, the humanitarian crisis continues to deepen, exacerbated by the blockade and military actions since October 7, 2023.
