Rashida Tlaib submits names of child casualties in Gaza to Congress, calls it Genocide
Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American member of the U.S. House of Representatives, has submitted a list of names of children killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza to Congress.
Tlaib stated that the first 14 pages of the 649-page list detail the deaths of children under one year old.
The names are derived from the comprehensive list of casualties recently published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
She noted that the Israeli government has killed 710 infants in Gaza. Tlaib expressed hope that her colleagues in Congress would take notice of this list.
Referring to the list of deceased children, she remarked, “This is not self-defense; it is genocide.”
According to statistics from the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry in Gaza, over 41,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 7, including more than 15,000 children.
Earlier, a United Nations committee accused Israel of violating the global convention protecting children, stating that the child casualties in Gaza from these attacks are historically unprecedented.
The rising number of child fatalities in Gaza raises serious concerns about the humanitarian crisis and the protection of innocent lives.
The international community must urgently address the ongoing violence and work towards ensuring the safety and rights of children in conflict zones.
