UN report: Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, targeting children
A new UN report says Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza by deliberately targeting Palestinian children — bad news for Palestinians and another blow to Israel's standing.
- The UN Human Rights Council commission says the genocide is ongoing, with children specifically targeted.
- It found about 30% of those killed in Gaza are children, and nearly all surviving kids need mental health support.
- The report points to attacks on hospitals, maternity wards, and newborn care, plus blocked food, building supplies, and sanitation gear.
- Israel denies the findings, saying it tries to minimize harm to children.
- The blockade has left kids living in tents amid swarms of insects, rats, and disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Outlook: Israel shows no sign of stopping, and the goal appears to be making Gaza unlivable so Palestinians leave for good.
