The UK-based Palestinian Return Centre submitted a report to the UN on the treatment of Palestinian children by Israeli forces in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Here’s a summary of what it said:

More than 12,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza in attacks by Israeli forces since October 7, with many others facing amputations and life-changing injuries.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates at least 17,000 children in Gaza are “now unaccompanied or separated from their families”, amid Israel’s five-month war on the coastal enclave.
Israeli forces “systematically” detain Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank, leading to the detention of at least 200 kids since the war in Gaza began. They’re often subjected to psychological and physical torture.
“The suffering of children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, must not fade into the background of the current conflict – it is part of it”, says the report.
Deliberately targeting and causing harm to civilians is considered a war crime.
