<h3><span>A group of children on Tuesday night made use of their time at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza and held a press conference. </span></h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>The kids are either displaced refugees who had fled to the
hospital as a result of Israeli bombing, or had accompanied other family
members who arrived dead or wounded at Al-Shifa. </span></p>
<p><span>The video of the press conference was made available through the Resistance News Network on Telegram. </span></p>
<p><span>The children seemed to speak on their behalf and other
Palestinian children, who are the main category of victims in the
current Israeli war on the Strip. </span></p>
<p><span>“Since October 7, we have been subjected to genocide, killing,
displacement, and bombs falling on our head in front of the whole
world,” a child, who seems to be around 10 years old, said. </span></p>
<p><span>“They are lying to the world, saying that they are targeting
Resistance fighters, but as children, we have escaped death more than
once. We, as children, have escaped death more than once,” he added. </span></p>
<p><span>According to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Israeli
airstrikes kill one child every ten minutes in Gaza. Numbers provided by
the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza indicate that 4,237 children
have been killed since the beginning of the war.</span></p>
<p><span>“We came to Al-Shifa Hospital as a safe place after we were
repeatedly exposed to bombing. We were surprised that we were once again
exposed to death after the occupation targeted Al-Shifa Hospital,” the
spokesperson of the Gaza children said. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>“The occupation starves us. For many days, we have no water or food, or even bread. We drink contaminated water.” </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>The child ended by appealing to the world, </span></p>
<p><span>“We came to shout as children, urging you all to protect us.
Stop the death. We want life. We want peace. We want a trial for the
killers. We want medicine. We want food. We want education. We want
life.”</span></p>
