Gaza City, January 16 (RHC)-- Half of those killed in indiscriminate Israeli aerial blitz on the blockaded Gaza Strip since October 7th have been children, most of them toddlers.  According to human rights groups, more than 12,000 children have been killed in the past 100 days of the genocidal war on the besieged strip, out of the total of nearly 25,000 people killed.

The staggering number of child casualties, however, has been downplayed by Western media outlets in order to whitewash the crimes committed by the apartheid regime against Gazans.

As the devastating war completes 100 days, their lives were brutally cut short even before they could open their eyes to see the outside world.  More than 100 infants have been killed by Israel before their first birthday.
