The UN Committee accused Israel of "serious" violations of the international agreement on child rights protection, stating that its military actions in Gaza have had a "catastrophic" impact on children and are among the worst violations in modern history.
According to Reuters, since the beginning of Israel's military campaign in response to Hamas attacks on October 7, over 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza. During this Time, 1200 people have been killed and 250 taken hostage.
"I don't think we've seen such massive violations before, as we have seen in Gaza," said Bragi Gudbrandsson, Deputy Chair of the Committee.
The Israeli delegation argued that the agreement does not apply to Gaza and the West Bank of the Jordan River, but is committed to respecting international humanitarian law.
