“There can never be any justification for killing children,” said Save the Children’s country director for the occupied Palestinian territory. “The situation in Gaza is monstrous and a blight on our common humanity.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Al Jazeera<\/em> on Thursday published<\/a> the latest update to its “Know Their Names” project, identifying some of the thousands of children killed so far in what people around the world are increasingly calling Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Mohammed Haddad and Mohammed Hussein, the project now lists 4,216 Palestinians, from infants to 17-year-olds. Of those named, 75% hadn’t even lived to their teens, more than half were under age 10, and nearly 500 were younger than 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children are sorted by age, with notes about each group: 17-year-olds “lived through four wars (2008-09, 2012, 2014, 2021)” only to be killed in the fifth and 10-year-olds had their “lives ended before adolescence,” while 4-year-olds were “deprived of the joys of preschool” and at least 258 babies “didn’t reach their first birthday.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Jazeera<\/em> noted that “the Gaza Strip is a graveyard for thousands of children, the United Nations has said. Since October 7, Israeli attacks have killed at least 10,000 children, according to Palestinian officials. That is one Palestinian child killed every 15 minutes, or about one out of every 100 children in the Gaza Strip.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials in Gaza said<\/a> later Thursday that at least 25,900 people\u2014including 11,500 children<\/a>\u2014have been killed and another 64,110 injured in Israel’s bombardment and blockade, launched in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack. Israeli forces have devastated<\/a> civilian infrastructure and displaced most of the enclave’s 2.3 million residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accounting for the thousands of people missing and presumed dead under the rubble in Gaza, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor puts the child death toll at 13,022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
