LAHORE:
Although the 15 -month -old genocidal attacks against Gaza have reached a temporary stop with the recent high fire agreement, the devastation that remains in its path is unimaginable.
More than 2 million people, including pregnant women and innocent children, have given the worst part of this violence. Among these children, a significant number has been left as amputated, changed forever for the horrors they endured.
While the high fire has brought a measure of relief to the people of Gaza, it cannot undo the irreversible damage made, particularly the thousands of limbs lost by Palestinian children during prolonged attacks, which some have described as an act of infanticide .
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha), Palestinian children have been killed, hungry and frozen until death in the Gaza Strip.
Tom Fletcher, the Undersecretary General of Humanitarian Affairs and the Emergency Aid Coordinator said: “Children have been killed, hungry and frozen until death. They have been mutilated, orphaned and separated from their families.” His words underlined the amazing impact on Gaza’s youngest generation. In addition, UN statistics reveal that approximately 150,000 pregnant women and new mothers urgently need health services in Gaza.
Following the high fire, two Pakistani brothers, Ubaydah al-Fiddhah Hafiah, and his brother Ghulam Bishar Hafi, 12, have once again raised their voices for the amputates without a voice of Palestine. Through a press release issued by his father and inspiration, Prof. Dr. Aurengzeb Hafi, have announced the continuation of their campaign, “Voice for the Voíss”, to advocate for the children left after the conflict.
