| Abstract | ||
| Background: A large number of children are killed every day in Gaza by the Israeli forces since they began their barbarian attack against 2 million civilians in Gaza by all methods of killing, from direct bombing and sniping to the total cut-off of water, food, and all medication supplies to the whole of the Gaza Strip. Objective: This study aimed to shed light on the current genocidal war as a major cause of death of children in Gaza for more than 18 months. Methods: We applied a wide search in Scopus, ResearchGate, PubMed, the Human Rights website, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, television channel websites, and the Web of Science for children’s deaths in the Gaza genocide war to identify relevant studies and records published all over the world. Articles were selected based on their clinical focus in both languages (English and Arabic). Conclusion: The barbaric genocidal war in Gaza began more than 18 months ago and is still a destructive, bloody, non-moral war targeting innocent civilians—especially children— ignoring all international laws and human rights. Every day there is a large and increasing number of killed children and disabilities that are the results of this war, with a silent world watching. No doubt that in the time of our study, Israel is the first cause of children's death all over the world by all causes of pediatric morbidity and mortality. | ||
