Short Link:
Al Mezan Center for Human Rights have recorded the stories of the lives of the 556 children killed during Israel’s summer 2014 assault. For some of these children, there is no photograph. In these cases either the entire family has been killed, or all of their possessions destroyed in the attacks, leaving no remaining images of their child.
Though the conflict has ended, many threats to Gaza’s children remain. The illegal blockade prevents construction materials getting in, meaning that reconstruction has barely begun a year later, and tens of thousands remain homeless. Many vital medicines are at zero-stock levels, chronic malnutrition blights many young lives, and hospitals and clinics remain in rubble.
