A thought crossed my mind earlier, and a sick one about what will possibly unfold. The media has coined a new acronym for the many children who are losing their parents in Gaza, Wounded Child No Surviving Family (WCNSF). Then I started thinking, what's going to happen to all these children? Who's going to take care of them?
After the Ukraine conflict started, there was a mass migration of people into Europe, primarily women and children. Many raised the concern about children both in the country and abroad being at risk of falling into the hands of traffickers, especially the unaccompanied ones who are easy prey.
Even if the situation becomes more stable in Gaza at some point, there is almost no infrastructure left and, with basic necessities being scarce, it will be hard for Gazans live in many areas despite the resiliency and self-reliance that they often display. There will be a general call to help the population and I wonder if the so-called humanitarian missions that will follow won't be used by some as a cover for human trafficking. Just thinking about a child who lost all his family falling into the hands of such people is sickening.
