One of the highest daily death rates for children 18th March

[rentmum]

On March 18, 2025, Israeli airstrikes on Gaza resulted in over 400 Palestinian deaths, including 174 children, according to health authorities in Gaza.
The Guardian
This tragic event represents one of the highest single-day child death tolls in recent conflicts.

For context, during the Ukraine conflict between February 2022 and June 2023, an average of three children were killed or injured daily, with March 2022 being the deadliest month, recording over 240 child fatalities and 260 injuries.
Save the Children UK
This indicates that the single-day child casualties reported in Gaza on March 18, 2025, are significantly higher than those documented in Ukraine during its most lethal periods.

Similarly, over the past decade, conflicts worldwide have resulted in an average of 25 child casualties per day, encompassing both deaths and injuries.
Save the Children International
The 174 child deaths reported in Gaza on March 18, 2025, starkly exceed this daily average, underscoring the exceptionally high child casualty rate on that day.

In summary, the child fatalities reported in Gaza on March 18, 2025, are among the highest recorded in a single day in recent conflicts, highlighting the severe impact on children in this escalation.

What i cant understand about these threads is the posters saying that the Palestinians want the complete annihilation of Israel, when its obvious it's Gaza that's being annihilated?

Why do they not condemn that??

Because then they would have to acknowledge that that is what is happening.

Who has broken this ceasefire, Israel or Hamas? I think you'll find it's Israel, you are correct in saying they hadn't reached the second phase, Israel has made sure they now never will, this thread isn't about the destruction of all J*3ws and their homeland, its about the destruction of all Palestinians and THEIR entire homeland, have some respect please for the innocent children lying dead under mounds of rubble perpetrated by a war hungry rogue nation

Exactly, some people will use any excuse under the sun even when it's blatantly obvious who is being wiped out

I think people find the very existence of Palestinians a threat.

Maybe because some of them are committed to the anihilation of the State of Israel, call for jihad on London streets, (they have been warned about that) shouting anti-semetic abuse and refuse to abide by Police requests for their protests.?

@litlleblueridinghood Think there is one side committed to the annihilation of a state and that's the one that has killed 500 people in the last few days. Talk is cheap and people can shout and protest and hold up posters but the real evil is dropping bombs on sleeping children.

Was this the correct course of action in your opinion?

Is there any need to say all that in a thread about 150 children being killed in a single day? Is it really? Don’t do they deserve any kind of respect ?

Israel uses Palestinians (including children) as human shields as well.does Israel government protect Israel children ? No. They only care about their asses.

Israel sends Palestinian children into tunnels ahead of them, Israel straps Palestinian children to tanks as human shields, Israeli’s pushed their own children in buggies in front of aid trucks to stop food getting to starving children. Speak about that!

@litlleblueridinghood There are a lot of pro Israel posters on here that I have disagreed with on so many occasions but I respect the fact that they have not come on a thread about a mass murder of children to speak like this. You have already had one post deleted for the vile way you described the victims

I would never go on a thread about hostages or the Bibas children (who I feel the utmost sympathy for and they should be freed) with a disgusting narrative like this or whataboutery. There is a time and a place and the hypocrisy of providing links to people spouting hate while doing the same thing is ironic to say the least.

Firstly, Palestine is not recognised as a 'State'

Secondly, Hamas have already said they do not want to govern Gaza " Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity and such,” said Mr. al-Hayya, the politburo member. “Hamas, the Qassam and the resistance woke the world up from its deep sleep and showed that this issue must remain on the table.”
“This battle was not because we wanted fuel or labourers,” he added. “It did not seek to improve the situation in Gaza. This battle is to completely overthrow the situation.”
“I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,” Taher El-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told The New York Times.

So war is what Hamas wants and the Israelis are obliging them.

How can you write such vitriol on a thread about innconet Palestinian children that have been murdered?

It is sickening.

We are both entitled to have an opinion about this but we don't have to agree about said opinions.

It's called "debate".

I don't know why my post was deleted and I suggest you don't know either, and. are are just speculating because it suits your argument

I'm going to disengage because discussions are only possible with mutual respect and as I said I cannot respect a poster that would come on this thread with those words
I have seen so many videos today of the beautiful children that have been sacrificed for evil men fighting so it's time to bow out with them for my own mental health.

Your post seems a tad emotive and fails to mention the innocent Israeli children that have also been killed.

I would disagree that the facts I posted are "vitriolic" BTW

If you are becoming so unhealthily engaged with and triggered by this topic, perhaps that is a wise course of action..

Evidence please.

Topic = a thread about 150 children killed in a single night. Of course many people are going to be triggered. Those that don’t then need a chat with their heads.

@EasterIssland "Those that don’t then need a chat with their heads."

I have no idea what this means ^

I was responding to a post at 15.04.

If you refer back to that you will see where I am coming from.

Isn't it astounding Hamas can count hundreds of bodies accurately in minutes but can't return the correct body parts of the mother they murdered.

Yes, it's amazing.

Are you struggling to understand the meaning of the thread title?
