PNN – Sky News Network, in an article referring to the large number of orphaned children in Gaza due to the criminal attacks of the Zionist regime, wrote: The war in this strip has robbed the children of Gaza not only of their parents and family members, but also of their dreams of growing up.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the British news network, the number of children killed in Gaza since the Israeli regime began its attacks on the strip has exceeded 15,000. This number is separate from other civilians who have lost their lives in the Israeli regime’s attacks.
The media outlet reported in an article titled Gaza’s Orphans Have Lost Everything, Even the Dream of Growing Up: Many of the Palestinian children who survived have been orphaned, and in addition to their parents, they have no siblings, or grandparents. This tragedy has caused them to no longer have the dream of growing up. The war has taken everything from them.
“Osama,” an orphaned Palestinian child whose family members have not survived, says in response to a reporter from this news network who asks him what he does outside the house: I walk here and there with my friends outside the tent so that I don’t think about the war and forget about it.
“Jenin,” another five-year-old girl who is now an orphan, is in the line for skull surgery while lying in a hospital bed, unaware that she has lost all of her family members.
The baby’s aunt, sitting next to his bed, tells a Sky News reporter: 25 of our relatives were martyred when they were targeted by a missile while preparing for dawn prayer during Ramadan. The mother of the fetus had already died in a separate attack, he says.
While trying to console herself, Janine’s aunt explains: Only Janine survived the attack, and she also suffered a brain hemorrhage. The five-year-old little girl is no longer able to speak due to the shock of the attack and only communicates with us through sign language.
Another family in Gaza that didn’t make it through the night
The Sky News reporter continues: In Gaza City, our team was filming another family that couldn’t make it through the night until morning, and eventually rescuers were able to pull out the bodies of four people.
The only surviving member of this family is a 12-year-old child named Samir, who managed to escape the missile attack and is now lying next to the bodies of his father, mother, sister, and brother.
Samir tells a Sky News reporter one of his fondest memories before the Israeli attacks; how on a summer day, he went to the beach with his family and swam with his brother.
Smiling between his tears, he continues: My brother laughed a lot that day! We swam and played and had a lot of fun.
Sky News concluded by stating that there are no words to express sympathy for Samir, adding: There are many children in Gaza like Samir and Janine. They have lost everything: their childhood, their family and their future.
