408 children have been killed in Israels assault on #Gaza in the past 29 days alone. Hundreds are maimed, wounded and orphaned. Almost a thousand times as many are traumatized and face an extraordinarily bleak future, Pernille Ironside, head of the field office run by UNICEF in Gaza, says. Palestinian children account for 31 percent of all civilian casualties in Gaza. More than 70 percent of the 251 boys and 157 girls killed were 12 or younger. UNICEF estimates about 373,000 children have had some kind of direct traumatic experience and require immediate psycho-social support, she says. And the US media continues spewing bias coverage of the conflict. The manipulation has to stop, the unconditional support has to stop, the senseless murder of children has to stop.
