Children make up 40 percent of dead since Israel started bombing the enclave, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

    News from Al-Jazeera quoting Gazas ministry of health (Hamas) is just as trustworthy as Russia Today quoting the Russian ministry of defense.

    Obviously I’m not saying that nobody is dying there but all the numbers will be equally made up.

      A lot of numbers are coming from the International Red Crescent/Red Cross inside Gaza as well, Hamas might inflate them to some extent but sadly it seems to be about right.
