Children make up more than 40% of the 7,703 people killed in Gaza, and more than a third of all fatalities across the occupied Palestinian territory and Israel. With a further 1,000 children reported missing in Gaza assumed buried under the rubble, the death toll is likely much higher.

On Friday, Israeli forces announced “expanded ground operations” in the Gaza Strip, with Save the Children warning it will bring more deaths, injuries and distress while calling for an immediate ceasefire.

It's barbaric, but that's what happens when a nation can commit ethnic cleansing with impunity.

It's as simple as that.

Not only impunity, but the full support of the governments of the West.

Never trust the numbers given by the terrorist organization Hamas. They lie to get sympathy.

News agencies going with the clickbait again just like when they passed on the Hamas false claim that 500 were killed in a hospital supposedly bombed by IDF.

Most newspapers have retracted that reporting but there are no repercussions for them lying so they still jump at any chance for those sweet outrage clicks (as if the war isn't bad enough).
