The Norwegian Refugee Council confirmed today that 11 of over 60 children killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over the last week were participating in its psycho-social programme aimed at helping them deal with trauma.
All of the children between 5 and 15 years old were killed in their homes in densely populated areas along with countless other relatives who died or received injuries.
"We are devastated to learn that eleven children we were helping with trauma were bombarded while they were at home and thought they were safe," said NRC's Secretary General Jan Egeland.
"They are now gone, killed with their families, buried with their dreams and the nightmares that haunted them. We call on Israel to stop this madness: children must be protected. Their homes must not be targets. Schools must not be targets. Spare these children and their families. Stop bombing them now."
The children NRC assisted included Lina Iyad Sharir, 15, who was killed with both of her parents in their home on 11 May in Gaza City's Al Manara neighbourhood. Her two-year-old sister Mina sustained third-degree burns and remains in critical condition.
Hala Hussein al-Rifi, 13, was killed on the night of 12 May when an airstrike hit the Salha residential building in Gaza City's Tal Al-Hawa neighbourhood. The attack also killed four-year-old Zaid Mohammad Telbani and his mother Rima, who was five months pregnant. Zaid's sister remains missing and is presumed dead.
Multiple air raids on 16 May in Al Wahda Street in central Gaza City killed eight children that NRC worked with, together with several family members.
These included Tala Ayman Abu al-Auf, 13, and her 17-year-old brother. Their father, Ayman Abu al-Auf, was the head of internal medicine at Gaza City's Shifa hospital. He was also killed.
The same attacks also killed Rula Mohammad al-Kawlak, 5, Yara, 9, and Hala, 12 – all sisters - together with their cousin Hana, 14, and several other of their relatives, as well as sisters Dima and Mira Rami al-Ifranji, 15 and 11, and neighbour Dana Riad Hasan Ishkantna, 9.
In the same area on 17 May, Rafeef Murshed Abu Dayer, 10, another student helped by NRC, was killed after shrapnel hit her together with her two brothers, who were having lunch in the garden of the Ghazi Shawa building. Rafeef's 11th birthday would have been next week on 25 May.
NRC works with 118 schools in the Gaza Strip, reaching more than 75,000 students through its psycho-social intervention, the Better Learning Programme.
"As an urgent measure, we appeal to all parties for an immediate ceasefire so that we can reach those in need and spare more civilians," Egeland said.
"But the truth is that there can be no peace or security as long as there are systemic injustices. The siege of Gaza needs to be lifted and the occupation of Palestinians must end if we are to avoid more trauma and death among children and new cycles of destruction every few years."

The Palestinian ministry of interior affairs in Gaza has accused the Israeli occupation state of committing war crimes and genocide against innocent civilians in the densely-populated Gaza Strip.
In press remarks on Monday, spokesman for the interior ministry Iyad al-Buzom said that the Israeli occupation state persists in killing children, women and elderly people with hundreds of projectiles and missiles that fall continuously from the air, land and sea over civilian homes in Gaza.
Spokesman Buzom said that the video footage and pictures that come from Gaza belie the allegations that are made by Israel to justify its heinous massacres.
“The occupation thinks that its horrific crimes would push our people to surrender, but it has failed to do so for 73 years and it will not succeed now,” the spokesman underscored.
He urged all the world’s free peoples to pressure their governments to move to end Israel’s brutal aggression against the Palestinian people.

The Ministry of Health Monday denounced a COGAT on the targeting of a hospital in the northern West Bank district of Qalqiliya by a Gaza rocket as fake news.
The Ministry of Health (MoH) denied the tweet by the so-called Coordination of the Government Activities in the Territories, a deceptively-named Israeli occupation body, that “on May 15, a long-range rocket launched towards Israel from the Gaza Strip” by Hamas “landed in the Palestinian village of Azun east of Qalqilya, causing heavy damage to the Omar Al-Qassam hospital.”
COGAT used the alleged incident as a proof that Palestinian armed groups in Gaza “place no value on human lives, be they Israeli lives, Gazan lives, or the lives of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria”.
MoH stated in a press release that COGAT’s allegations are part of the “Israeli occupation authorities’ quest to distort reality and mislead international public opinion” through disseminating fake news in English with a photo that was not for the Omar al-Qassam hospital.
It stressed that Israel’s attempt to mislead the international public opinion is intended to “enable it to escape ]responsibility for[ its crimes in the Gaza Strip, involving the killing of entire families and medics, in addition to the bombing hospitals, health centers, MoH building besides to the sole central Covid-19 testing labortatory, which threatens to exacerbate the outbreak of the pandemic in the besieged coastal enclave”.
Israel used the Jewish nationalist name “Judea and Samaria” to refer to the occupied West Bank to reinforce its bogus claims to the territory and to give them a veneer of historical and religious legitimacy.
