The UN has decided to put Israel on the black list of countries and organizations that "harm children in armed conflict zones". This list includes Russia and the terrorist organizations ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram subversive organizations. Currently, a child is killed or injured in Gaza every 10 minutes as a result of Israeli attacks.
The United Nations decided to put Israel on the black list of countries and organizations that "harm children in armed conflict zones".
According to Israel National News, UN Secretary General António Guterres informed General Hedi Silberman, Israel's military attaché in the US, about the organization's decision.
The UN chief informed the general that Israel will be on the same list as Russia and the terrorist organizations ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram.
Israel's attempts to persuade Guterres to abandon such a move are reported to have failed. Next week, the UN will release an updated blacklist of countries and organizations that "harm children in areas of armed conflict," which includes Israel.
Presumably, the list does not specifically mention the state of Israel, and the UN names the "Israeli army" as the culprit.
According to the UN, a child is killed or injured in the Gaza Strip every 10 minutes.
At the same time, the press service of the government of the Gaza Strip reported on June 3 that 3,500 children in the exclave were at risk of death due to starvation.
Since October 7, 2023, 36,586 Palestinians, including 10,171 women and at least 15,328 children, have been killed and another 83,074 Palestinians injured as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.
