'Targeting of Palestinian children has not stopped': Independent UN investigator sounds alarm

Summary

Independent UN investigators are calling for action after releasing a report detailing what they call “deliberate killing of Palestinian children” by Israel. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry says that since October 7, 2023, the "essence of childhood" has been "destroyed" in Gaza and the West Bank. Speaking with FRANCE 24, Commission Chair Srinivasan Muralidhar said that among the vast evidence collected were testimonies from doctors who said children were admitted to their care with "gunshot wounds specifically targeted at the head and the neck to cause maximum damage".
