Ten thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israeli bombs in less than four weeks. Nearly half of those killed are children, many of whom were too young to understand what was happening, why the ground shook, why the sky fell. Thousands of other men, women and children are under the rubble of what the UN Secretary General has called a ‘graveyard for children’. Desperate fathers have been filmed crying for their trapped sons and daughters – hoping for one more ‘I hear you’, ‘I love you’, ‘I’m okay’ each time before their cries are replaced with echoes. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been physically and psychologically injured in ways no words can describe. Orphaned children have overnight become parents to their baby siblings. White bandage wrapped around his wounded head, one child covered in grey dust is recorded comforting his toddler brother who is shaking uncontrollably from traumatic bombing they endured and survived. The toddler looks at his little, bloodied hands, confused as to why they are shaking. This is a scene that has been repeated time and time again over the past four weeks. View this post…
