American Jewish orthopedic surgeon and Vice President of the International College of Surgeons, Mark Perlmutter, told the American press about the horrific level of barbarity reached by the occupying Israeli forces. Perlmutter said that Israeli army snipers deliberately targeted children in Gaza. The channel recently asked more than 20 doctors working as volunteers in Gaza about what they witnessed and what happened to the injured children.
IT IS DEFINITELY A WAR CRIMINAL
Perlmutter, who stated that they have committed documents proving that war crimes are being against children, said that he had never seen so many burned children in his life. Perlmutter said, “It is worse than all the disasters I have seen in crisis areas around the world in 30 years. The Israeli army deliberately killed children. We have documents proving that war crimes are being committed against children.”
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A DISASTER
Perlmutter, who noted that he has been volunteering in emergency and war zones for 30 years, said, “I have been to 40 missions. These included wars, front lines, earthquakes and natural disasters. But none of them were comparable to the massacre that civilians in Gaza experienced.” The doctor, who said that almost all civilian casualties in Gaza were children, said, “I have never seen anything like this before. Missing body parts, contusions, burns. We have pulled shrapnel the size of a thumb from eight-year-old children. “I have child patients who have been shot twice by snipers.”
THEY ARE DYING WHILE WAITING FOR RELEASE
Another person who spoke to the channel was Tareq Hailat, the head of the Overseas Treatment Program of the Palestinian Children’s Aid Fund. Hailat, who stated that they have evacuated more than 200 children from Gaza to date, noted that many children died while waiting to be evacuated as a result of Israel’s obstruction. Hailat, who stated that children in Gaza are struggling with death, said, “A leg broken in the US is not the same as a leg broken in Gaza. If a leg is broken in Gaza, it will most likely be amputated. And most “likely the leg will become infected after it is amputated, which means you will most likely die.”
Nowhere is safe
According to a United Nations report, the Israeli army’s latest mass evacuation order for Khan Younis in southern Gaza covers an area of approximately 8.7 square kilometers (3.35 square miles). The terror state, which declared 15 percent of al-Mawasi, which it declared a so-called “humanitarian zone,” as well as an “operational zone,” has banned entry to the area, which corresponds to approximately 83 percent of the Gaza Strip. The occupying force, which killed 93 people after launching the evacuation order for Khan Younis the day before, has shown the world once again that there is no safe zone on the coastline.
