Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, a staggering number of children have gone missing, with estimates reaching as high as 21,000, according to a recent report by a nongovernmental organization. The organization revealed that around 4,000 children are feared to have been buried under the rubble of buildings destroyed during the conflict, while approximately 17,000 have been separated from their families and are unaccompanied.
Furthermore, there are reports of children being forcibly 'disappeared,' with some being detained and transferred out of Gaza, leaving their families unaware of their whereabouts and raising concerns of ill-treatment and torture.
