At least 3000 children have sustained injuries in Israel's ongoing onslaught on the blockaded Gaza Strip, according to a Geneva-based watchdog.
In a statement issued Tuesday in Gaza, the EuroMed Observatory for Human Rights said its teams in the coastal Palestinian territory had registered cases of 3000 children hurt during the Israeli offensive.
It said at least one third of them suffered permanent disabilities.
The watchdog accused Israel of committing "flagrant violations" against Gaza's civilian population and demanded an end to "Israeli crimes against humanity."
