VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles

Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”

The same person realizing that they have an entire lifetime of that class ahead of them, because it’s their major.

Someone being questioned about how they wanted their funeral to look, after talking about the 8000 words they had due.

Just, so many people sprawled on floors because it’s easier to do that than anything else. So many.

The most genuine gratitude I’ve had directed at me possibly ever, because I gave someone a peanut butter cookie.
