Christmas is also the festival day that excites children all over the world, regardless of religion.
The only exception is the children of the war-torn Gaza Strip.
It is said that these children’s wish is to have a full meal.
Reporter Choi Young-joo reports.

Children in Gaza who fled to the south to escape Israel’s indiscriminate air strikes,
They sit together in groups of three and a half, surviving on just a piece of bread.
After not eating properly for over a month, I lost weight and started feeling dizzy.
Unlike other children, these children’s earnest wish is not a toy or an amusement park.
[타하니 나스르 / 가자지구 피란민 : 아들이 ‘엄마, 나 닭고기가 너무 먹고 싶어’라고 했어요. 닭고기가 너무 간절하다고 말하는데 어디서 가져오나요?]
At the food distribution center set up by the charity, a long line of children holding pots formed in the morning.
Because it is a chance to eat warm food for the first time in a while.
However, even this cannot be eaten to the full.
[살와 코쉬 / 가자지구 피란민 : 집에 먹을 것이 없어서 아침 8시부터 와서 줄을 섰어요. 물도 없고, 음식도 없어요. 아이들이 너무 배고파하는데 먹일 것이 없어요. 이 스튜 한 그릇이 우리 아이들에겐 아침이자 점심, 저녁입니다.]
For the children of Gaza, what is more painful than the pain of hunger is the fear of being bombed once more.
Volunteers set up a psychotherapy program for children suffering from fear and trauma, but negative emotions persist.
[라하프 샤반 / 가자지구 어린이 : 사는 게 아닙니다. 행복하지 않습니다. 우리 주변에는 오직 두려움과 폭격만이 있습니다. 우리가 어디로 갈 수 있을까요?]
Dozens of children injured in air strikes are brought to hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
A child crying next to his injured mother is afraid that he will lose his mother forever.
“Mom~ Mom~”
While the number of Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of war has exceeded 20,000, the number of innocent child victims has reached over 8,000.
