London, MINA – Save the Children on Friday raised alarm over rising casualties among the children in Gaza, with the official death toll now crossing 10,000.
The UK-based charity stressed that the children are not mere statistics but individuals with dreams, hopes, and the right to a safe future, Anadolu Agency reported.
“They deserve to go to sleep at night without fearing they will be bombed while they sleep. They deserve to play and learn like any other child,” it said in a statement.
“Unless action is taken by governments, including the UK, to uphold their responsibilities under International Humanitarian Law, history will and should judge us all,” it added.
