DESCRIPTION:
World Day of Child Victims of Aggression brings to light children's suffering, particularly those who are victims of war and abuse. It is a United Nations (UN) affirmation to safeguard children's rights in peace and war. Many organizations, celebrities, and VIPs work together to affect positive action toward improving child welfare.
This UN awareness campaign began on August 19, 1982, when the General Assembly observed the immense number of Palestinian and Lebanese children who had become victims of Israel's latest war on its northern neighbor. The event that shocked the world was the massacres of the Sabra neighborhood and the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut.
SABRA & SHATILA
In concert with Phalanges Christian Lebanese militias, Israeli forces supervised and assisted in two and a half days of horror that led to the slaughter of over 3,000 people during what was supposed to be a cease-fire. The massacre is considered a war crime.
Afterward, June 4 became a reminder and applied to children globally as the World Day of Child Victims of Aggression.
June 4, 1982, is the anniversary of the first bombing in this war by Israel of Lebanon. It occurred two days before the official declaration and is considered the commencement of the siege of Beirut. During its first ten days, June 4-14, 1982, the International Red Cross reported 9,583 people killed and another 16,608 injured, 80 percent of whom were civilians.
The war ran from June 6, 1982, through June 1985.
