The statement added that the most heinous crimes and horrific massacres that the fascist entity’s committing against the Palestinian people, especially innocent children, who were and still are a direct target of the terrorism and criminality of this Nazi entity.

The movement indicated that, according to international reports, “one child is injured or dies every 10 minutes in Gaza, and the number of martyrs from the children as a result the ongoing Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip have risen more than 14,000.

“There are more than 200 Palestinian children, most of them school students, including more than 20 from the Gaza Strip, inside the prisons of the fascist occupation that practices against them the most horrific and hateful punitive and retaliatory policies,” the statement.

The movement’s statement pointed out that “the celebration of United Nations and the international community this day every year is a chance to remind once again of the suffering and pain of the children of Palestine, inside Palestine and in the refugee camps and diaspora, adding that they hold a legal, moral and humanitarian responsibility to put an end to the continuation of the Zionist occupation in its grave violations and horrific crimes against Palestine’s children.”

It went on to say, “Failing to take all necessary measures to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes and hold them accountable; It represents a disgrace on the forehead of this world, which is reluctant to put an end to the crimes of this Nazi occupation against our Palestinian people.”
