Jake Johnson is a senior editor and staff writer for Common Dreams.

The humanitarian group Save the Children estimated Monday that around 21,000 kids are missing in the Gaza Strip as Israel 's military continues its assault on the enclave, reducing much of the Palestinian territory to rubble.

Conditions for children have further deteriorated since Israel's invasion of Rafah, which has forced roughly a million people to flee the city. Last month, Israeli forces used U.S.-made bombs in an attack on a Rafah camp sheltering displaced people, killing dozens—including women and children. The United Nations Human Rights Office said that infants were 'torn apart' in the attack and people were 'trapped inside burning plastic tents, leading to a horrific casualty toll.
