    “Statistically, the sheer number of children as a percentage of the population that have been killed or wounded is huge, so Gaza’s different because of the level of indiscriminate attacks.”

    The majority are growing up in tents and ruins, deprived of food and safety.

    Nearly 40,000 children have lost one or both of their parents, Gazan authorities say.

    According to the UN, there are more child amputees per capita in Gaza than anywhere else in the world.
