U.N. Reports Dire Impact on Children in Gaza Strip
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/06/world/middleeast/un-reports-dire-impact-on-children-in-gaza-strip.html?_r=0
United Nations official state in Gaza Strip, over 408 children died and 2,502 children injured. Why? From the Militant Islamic Organization taking over Gaza Strip and killing innocent people and tearing down houses and buildings left and right. About 373,000 children have had traumatic experiences and need psychosocial help. "There isn’t a single family in Gaza which hasn’t been touched by direct
loss,” Ms. Ironside. “The impact that has on the ability of
children to cope cannot be overstated.” Palestinian kids have seen their parents and loved ones die in front of them. For several weeks, the water systems in Gaza Strip has been shut down due to the damage the Militant Islamic Organization has done. So the surviving Palestinians cannot reach clean water nor food. Also, the Islamic Organization has bombed many schools and power plants. Leaving millions and millions of dollars to reconstruct these buildings. The U.N. supports any allies that are in dire need of food,shelter or clean water. But, they U.N. is not helping Palestinians. In this article is says the U.N. is helping Palestine, but in reality this Islamic Organization is still killing innocent Palestinians. In my opinion, I think the U.N. should help Palestine because many families are loosing their loved ones. And Israel is being unfair by killing innocent people. Do you agree or disagree?

I agree that the UN should help Palastine because its un-fair that Israel is killing innocent Palestinians and letting kids grow up without anymore parent figures in their life and traumatized. The schools being bombed is not necessary to continue due to it messing with the people of the future. It is to be stopped with all these killings and the UN not doing anything. The world is corrupt.
ReplyDeleteI think what the Israeli's are doing is unjust. In a war killing citizens should be disallowed or prohibited; what would a school boy have to do with a conflict between two countries, why should he die? However I do believe that it is not just the Israeli's who are killing people, it is also the Palatines who are killing the the Israelis. The Palatine must be killing equally as many people and kids. It is unfortunate that kids get involved in something they have no control over. I think the UN wants to do something but can't. It is hard for them to stop this altercation, since the hate will always remain. I think that these two countries need to find a solution to their problems, and if fighting for a little bit solves it then so be it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this. Innocent children should not be losing their lives over religious differences. I think that the UN should not only provide aid, but also attempt to create negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis so that they can share the land they both have the right to and prevent further conflicts from occurring.
ReplyDeleteI think that the Israeli's are acting inhumanely towards the Palestinians. There is no reason to kill innocent children. The U.N. needs to help the Palestinians because they are suffering more than the Israelis are. Fighting is not doing anything, obviously. I agree with Dhruv, they need to find a solution to their problems, or things will just get worse. Even though they will still continue to dislike each other, it will reduce the amounts of lives lost in both countries.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the UN should be helping out because Palestinian children have no choice over where they were born and are not responsible for any of the suffering going on where they live. They are innocent, and should be able to get the help they need regardless of the fighting going on in their country.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Israel is being unfair because they're killing people who are innocent. With many family at lost because they lost their loved ones. Not only have they killed innocent people but also damaged many schools, Gaza's power and shortages for clean water. I agree with Elyse that they need to find peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis or conflicts will become complete chaos.
ReplyDeleteI find it really interesting and also a bit sad that Israel is often portrayed as the "good guys," and Gaza is often portrayed as the "bad guys," because they're run by Hamas. Yes Hamas is a terrorist organization, but more Palestinians have died in this conflict than Israelis have. It is horrible that innocent children are dying in this way,but it's hard to see an end in sight. Excuse me for being a pessimist here, but it just seems like all the ceasefires are so short lived and they start firing at each other again. The U.N. should do as much as it can to help because they do have the potential to suppress some conflict, but their influence is limited. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict runs so deep that even intervention from an organization such as the U.N. would not bring true peace. This issue goes too far beyond casualties and bombings for that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the UN because its unfair to be killing people for no reason. Children need their parents and family. I agree with Vivian Ngo because like she said it also damaged many school, Gaza's power and shortages for clean water. All those families are innocent and no one should bother them, people should actually help them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the UN that they should lend a hand fo the palestinian people in this time of need. I also agree that it is unfair that isrealis are killing inncoent children, but one thing to remember is that this conflict has been going on between the two for years and the palestinian people havs also launched attacks against israeli peopl and children. I agree with Elyse's point that these children shouldn't be losing their lives over religious differences, and ultimatley it is up to these two groups of people to contain this ongoing conflict.
ReplyDeleteIsraelis and Palestine's have been have conflicts for years. I think that we should help the Palestinians because a lot of them are getting hurt and the kids are watching family and others die right in front. So I think that if the UN helps that the Israelis and palestains should come to and end with all the killing and suffering.
