Pyongyang-Sana
The DPRK condemned the continuous crimes and massacres committed by the Israeli occupation entity against the Palestinian people, especially children, noting that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which left hundreds of martyrs, including 66 children, is evidence of this entity's barbarism.
An article entitled “There is no justification whatsoever for killing children,” published today on the website of the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the occasion of the “International Day of Child Victims of Abuse,” stated that the United Nations General Assembly set 39 years ago during an emergency special session this day of each year to remind With the Palestinian and Lebanese children who fell victims of Israeli brutality and oppression.
The ministry pointed out that the barbaric air and ground bombardment on the Palestinian territories last May caused the death of 66 children among hundreds of other martyrs, in addition to hundreds of wounded in the Gaza Strip alone. It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire besieged sector has turned into a “human slaughterhouse” and a place for massacres against children. .
She added that the crimes of "Israel" and its killing of these children, who are still tender buds, is horrific, a challenge and a serious threat to the future of humanity, and a crime against humanity.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry indicated that the world condemns the Israeli massacres against children and civilians, the displacement of the Palestinian occupation authorities from their land, its expansion of illegal settlement operations, its sowing seeds of hatred and its suppression of their rights to perform their religious rituals.
The ministry stated that the United Nations Charter formally stipulates in the first paragraph of its introduction to “save future generations from the scourge of war that twice in our lives brought untold sorrow to mankind,” stressing that the international community must not tolerate Israel’s terrorism and its attempts to abolish other countries.
The Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, which lasted for 11 days last month, resulted in the death of 257 Palestinians, including 66 children, in addition to the injury of about 1950, including 560 children, and the massive destruction of Palestinian properties, homes and infrastructure, and the displacement of more than 120 thousand Palestinians from their homes.
