Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging an aggression against Gaza, using killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, while disregarding all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the aggression that left, so far, over 183,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and famine has claimed the lives of many, including children.
