ISTANBUL (Bernama-Anadolu): More than 20,000 Palestinian children are missing in Gaza due to Israel's assault on the enclave; many trapped beneath rubble, detained, buried in unmarked graves, or lost from their families, Anadolu Agency reported, citing the non-governmental organisation (NGO) Save the Children.
In a statement on Monday, the UK-based charity said it is "nearly impossible” to collect and verify information under the current conditions in Gaza, where Israel continues its ground and air attacks, but at least 17,000 children are believed to be unaccompanied and separated, and approximately 4,000 children are likely missing under the rubble, with an unknown number also in mass graves.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
