A stolen childhood at the heart of war
In Gaza, childhood is devastated by war, with approximately 20,000 babies born amid destruction, and around 14,350 children killed since 2023. Over 625,000 children are denied education as schools are destroyed, and many suffer from hunger, fighting two wars against bombs and starvation. Personal stories highlight the struggles, like little Noor’s longing for an egg and the heartbreaking farewell message from ten-year-old Azmi Abu Al-Shaar, illustrating the profound loss of innocence and basic rights faced by Gaza’s children.
