Washington Post Lists 18,500 Children Killed in Gaza Conflict

The American newspaper The Washington Post has published a list of the children who were killed in Gaza. "Sannd was only 70 days old when an air strike killed him and his eight-year-old brother Abdul and five-year-old brother Tariq in September", the newspaper writes next to a picture of Sannd.

On the list are the names and ages of 18,500 children who were killed during the nearly two-year war between Israel and Hamas. The names originally come from a list of the 60,000 people killed in Gaza during the war, which was published by the Hamas-controlled health department earlier in July.

"The list of names is the only official documentation of the dead. Children fill page after page," the newspaper writes.

Over 900 of the children were killed before they turned one year old. But it is not just an account of the children's names and ages, the article also highlights several of the children's fates.

"Hind spent her last hours locked in a car full of bullet holes, surrounded by the bodies of six relatives, and made desperate calls for help," it says about six-year-old Hind, whose body was found twelve days after she made the call.

In response to the large number of children killed in Gaza, the Israeli military writes that it does not intentionally target children and that it tries to minimize damage and losses among civilians.

The Hamas-controlled health department has used hospital and morgue records as well as reports from the victims' families and reliable media to compile the list, the newspaper writes.
