Israeli forces are killing one Palestinian child every 10 minutes
John —
The Palestinian child death toll in Gaza has climbed to 3,457, or more than 40% of the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7.
This amounts to Israeli forces killing one Palestinian child every ten minutes for the last three weeks.
The total death toll is surpassing the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995, when the Bosnian Serb military killed around 8,000 Muslim men and teenagers. It is long past time for the international community to demand a ceasefire and protect Palestinians in Gaza.

International leaders are repeatedly calling for Israeli forces to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians, but these words ring hollow as Israeli forces and authorities make clear their intentions to commit genocide against the Palestinian people. More than 1,050 Palestinian children are reported missing under the rubble of entire city blocks that Israeli forces are flattening in an indiscriminate bombing campaign designed to eliminate Palestinian families.
Thank you for your continued support of Palestinian human rights and please continue calling your elected officials to demand a ceasefire and protection of Palestinian children.
In solidarity,
