The aftermath of Israeli bombardment has resulted in the loss of 77 Palestinian lives in the past 24 hours, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. International reporting agencies confirm that 221 individuals have also been wounded in the attacks.
The ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza, which began on October 7th, has now claimed a staggering total of 36,731 Palestinian lives, with 83,530 Palestinians injured in Israeli airstrikes overall.
In response to the escalating violence, the United Nations Secretary-General has demanded an end to Israel’s atrocities against children. Antonio Guterres called for Israel to be included in the list of global criminals for its abuses against children.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, however, expressed astonishment and dismay at the decision, asserting that the Israeli military is “the most ethical in the world.” The report concerning children and armed conflict is set to be presented in the United Nations Security Council on June 14th.
Palestinian authorities have welcomed the United Nations’ move to include Israeli forces on the blacklist for their actions causing harm to children. This step marks a significant gesture towards accountability for human rights violations in the region.
