Children in Gaza are being shot, injured, and killed in a conflict they neither chose nor understand. Hospitals report rising numbers of children with gunshot wounds, many arriving without parents, many treated in chaotic conditions with limited supplies.
In every war, children are supposed to be protected, yet in Gaza they have become some of the most frequent victims. Their suffering exposes a humanitarian crisis that demands global attention.
