Sana’a – SABA:
While the world lives in peace, the residents of the Gaza Strip have endured 600 days of suffering and hardship due to genocide crimes committed by the Zionist enemy, supported by the US and Europe. These crimes have resulted in catastrophic conditions and ongoing tragedies, accompanied by siege, starvation, and attempts at forced displacement amid disgraceful international silence and Arab abandonment.
Continuing its aggression on Gaza, the Entisaf Organization for Women and Children’s Rights has documented the crimes committed over these 600 days, reporting that the number of martyrs exceeded 54,000, with over 123,000 wounded, and more than 9,000 missing—either under the rubble or with an unknown fate. Over 60% of the martyrs are children and the elderly.
According to a statement received by SABA News Agency, child martyrs alone numbered over 18,000, with 16,854 children reaching hospitals. The number of women martyrs exceeded 12,000, with 8,968 women reaching hospitals.
The statement highlighted that 932 children under the age of one were killed, and 356 infants born during these 600 days were martyred. Additionally, there are over 42,000 orphaned children and 14,000 widows.
It noted that over 2.4 million people in Gaza are being subjected to genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing. There are over 2 million displaced persons, with 242 deaths from lack of food, mostly children and elderly, and 58 malnutrition victims, including 53 children. 17 people died from cold exposure, 14 of whom were children.
Entisaf also reported over 2,136 cases of infectious diseases due to forced displacement, 71,338 cases of hepatitis, and more than 300 miscarriages among pregnant women. Around 60,000 pregnant women are at risk, and 70,000 children are in danger of dying due to hunger and food shortages.
The organization deemed the genocide in Gaza a serious violation of international humanitarian law, which prohibits the targeting of civilians in any form. The civilian nature of the targeted areas clearly indicates the Zionist entity’s intentional violation of humanitarian principles such as humanity, distinction, and proportionality—amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Entisaf held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for all crimes targeting civilians, hospitals, and ambulances, and also blamed the United Nations, the Security Council, and Muslim and Arab states for their shameful silence and failure to fulfill their obligations—encouraging further war crimes by the Zionist regime.
The organization renewed its call on the international community, especially the International Court of Justice, to open investigations and hold those responsible accountable.
It also called on human rights and humanitarian organizations, Arab and Islamic countries, and the free people of the world to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibility by supporting the Palestinian people, condemning these atrocities, and pressuring the UN, particularly the Security Council, to carry out their legal and moral duty to protect civilians and stop the Israeli aggression.
The bleeding of Palestinian lives in Gaza and all of Palestine continues, enabled by international silence and disgraceful Arab inaction—emboldening the Zionist enemy to commit even more genocide, in total disregard of international laws and conventions.
