Women and children account for roughly 70 per cent of people killed in the war in Gaza, with two mothers killed every hour since hostilities erupted more than 100 days ago, according to a UN Women report published on Friday.
"We have seen evidenced once more that women and children are the first victims of conflict and that our duty to seek peace is a duty to them. We are failing them,” UN Women Executive Director Sima Bahous said in a statement issued alongside the report.
“That failure, and the generational trauma inflicted on the Palestinian people over these 100 days and counting, will haunt all of us for generations to come,” she warned.
We’ve all failed each other as humans from the very start. Humans have one intent, to hurt each other as often as possible. And with the invention of gunpowder, it was inevitable we’d become bloodthirsty savages delusional in our sense of being “civilized.”
Now you see what humans really are. Now the naked truth is undeniably exposed, and it’s all I need to prove that humans are not worthy of redemption or any sort of happy afterlife. Hell is the only place any of us truly deserve to be.
