"Too often, it’s the most vulnerable who suffer most in the throes of war.

This remains true, with children accounting for many of the deaths and
casualties in the war between Israel and Hamas.

Just this week there have been two bombings of the Jabalia Refugee Camp, a
densely populated area of the Gaza strip home to many families with children.

International agencies are particularly worried. The United Nations
International Children’s Emergency Fund has said Gaza is turning into a
“graveyard of children”.

The disproportionate effect on young people is not just resulting in
devastating scenes right now. It will have long-term consequences."
