"Festival For One; Farewell For Another"

 "Festival For One; Farewell For Another"

The world has seen a really obvious resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly last week. No doubt the catastrophic situation within the region of Gaza needed such a resolution to make sure no further damage to women and children.

More than 175 days of the ongoing Hamas-Israel war have taken the lives of nearly 32,623 Palestinians and nearly half of them were children. The death toll shows how much casualty this war has already done. The lives of innocent children are something in some parts of the world that does not cost the most, while every conflict, uprising, or war targets the children and women first. They have to pay the cost of political greediness with their lives.

The political figures do not miss the chance to make false promises. Sitting in a well-furnished and air-conditioned room and making statements after a raging war is normal for them. The promises are made to not be fulfilled but rather mislead. What really, we are seeing in this war too. Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh who is sitting in Qatar and digging a grave for thousands of Palestinians, for this mishap the resolution was necessary to be passed, what UNGA already done.

Coming to the second half of the title we have more darker side of the humanitarian crisis and injustices with children outside of highly rated Gaza. The children of Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Mali, Cameroon, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Ukraine are in the worst situation. According to UN reports nearly a year of war in Sudan has left around 14 million children in urgent need of life-saving humanitarian support. Sudan is now the largest child displacement crisis in the World, with 4 million children fleeing widespread violence in search of safety, food, shelter, and health care. 

Three years after the end of the US Army regime in Afghanistan situation is still not under control. The situation is very vulnerable for Girl children. They do not have the right to education under the Sariya law of Taliban authority. Afghan girls are facing undesirable situations. Hammer on formal education in Afghanistan is a matter to rethink. They are crying and seeking help from organizations like the UN too.

 The Russia-Ukraine war is another example of the same catastrophic situation and impact of war on children. Schools are destroyed, children are displaced, and cut off basic humanitarian access makes them used to the war. Many children are being handed weapons and trained. How Ukraine's children are being trained for combat gives me a flashback of the Nazi era. They should be stopped and encouraged for a better life. For the same, they must be listed. 

They get underrated. Their voice is not being heard not because of their sound but because of interest. They cry loudly but are not able to catch such a big audience like Gaza. They do not get attention, and no one comes forth and stands for them, to make them audible too. To help them out, to make them audible, and to make their life just a life is none of the organization's business. They are also suffering for years but " Why is no such resolution passed for them too? "
