The tragic reality of the children of Gaza
Life unfolds like a tragedy for the children of Palestine, where their canvas is tainted with the darkest of hues from the very beginning. It's as if they're handed brushes dipped in sorrow, forced to paint a picture of suffering and injustice. The children of Palestine confront unimaginable trials. Robbed of the warmth of their families, they have become "wounded children, no surviving family" (WCNSF), a horrific term coined by medical workers in Gaza to describe the reality of many children there. Imprisoned and tortured by the Israeli occupation forces, their innocence is shattered by the brutality of the occupation and its endless wars, where their cries are drowned out by the weight of "Israel's" oppression. Despite the relentless Israeli bombing and forced displacement, their struggle for survival persists. Yet, their frail bodies, starved, malnourished, and thirsty, make it an uphill battle.
