The American newspaper The Washington Post has published a list of the children who were killed in Gaza. 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.
"Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during the war. 'Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children killed, every day for nearly two years,' UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the UN Security Council this month."
A peer-reviewed study published January in the Lancet said an analysis of different casualty records suggests that the official death toll could be a significant undercount.
