JERUSALEM: Parents in Gaza write names on their children’s bodies for fear of danger and death at any moment. Various media reports quoting Dr. Abdurrahiman al-Azri, a health worker in Gaza, that if they are killed or missing in Israel’s attacks, they write their names in black ink on their bodies in order to identify them.

Names are written with black ink on the arms and legs of babies. This is done in the realization that death is imminent as Israel has intensified its attack. There are parents who write their names on their own bodies as well as on their children’s bodies. Hundreds of children are being treated in various hospitals in Gaza.

According to the reports, names like this are written on the bodies of the children undergoing treatment. There is a situation where bombs can fall at any moment in places like these hospitals. If this happens, it will be helpful to identify the children who are killed or missing.

At the same time, the health sector in the Gaza Strip has been completely destroyed as the Israeli attack on Gaza intensified. Most of Gaza’s hospitals are closed. Out of the total 72, 46 primary health centers have stopped functioning. 7 out of 35 big hospitals are not functioning. In addition to this, various news agencies report that Israel has warned that hospitals in northern Gaza should be evacuated.

Human Rights Watch has assessed that Israel’s occupation of Gaza is a war crime. Human Rights Watch has also criticized Israel’s blockade of fuel and water. Only medicines and essential goods are reaching Gaza through the Rafah border. The fuel shortage has also severely affected the functioning of hospitals.

Meanwhile, the number of people killed in the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza has crossed five thousand. Various international media reports that 5791 people have been killed so far in Gaza alone. 2360 of them are children.
