Palestinian Ministry of Health – Gaza - Press Statement:
“As part of its ongoing documentation of crimes committed against our people, the Ministry of Health is publishing a comprehensive report on the number of children martyred during the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
As of today, the number of child martyrs has reached 16,503, a shocking figure that reflects the direct and systematic targeting of the most vulnerable and innocent segment of society.
Age breakdown of the martyrs is as follows:
➤ Infants (under 1 year): 916 martyrs
➤ Children (ages 1–5): 4,365 martyrs
➤ Children (ages 6–12): 6,101 martyrs
➤ Adolescents (ages 13–17): 5,124 martyrs
These devastating numbers are not just statistics—they represent innocent lives lost, and reflect the scale of the humanitarian disaster and the severity of the crime committed against an entire generation that should have been protected, educated, and nurtured—not turned into targets for warplanes and tank shells.
The Ministry of Health calls on the international community, human rights bodies, and humanitarian organizations to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities, act urgently to stop the aggression, and hold the occupation’s leaders accountable for their crimes against children and unarmed civilians.
