In reply to the discussion: 15,000 children killed in Gaza by Israel. [View all]womanofthehills
(8,875 posts)are alive - that's why so many kids have their name and birthday written on their arms and legs. People on podcasts have said they check the list regularly to see if loved ones are dead or alive.
Thousand of dead babies on the list with their names and ages listed .You see this list online.
Then -we have all the amputations, blind kids, burned kids, etc. About 75,000 of Gazan's are
severely injured -so probably 40,000 or more are kids. The US should have a ship in Gaza to do rehab for these kids - they need treatment, prosthesis and wheelchairs. Can you even imagine a child losing their legs, having no wheelchair or no family?
Plus, the thousands under the rubble - could be as high as 10,000.
According to UNRWA, one in three children under 2 is severely malnourished. There is no infant formula, milk etc - so lots of newborns are dying because malnourished mothers can not breastfeed.
