Four Wars Old: Fourteen Years of Childhood in Gaza

Sixty-seven Palestinian children were killed during Israel’s 11-day assault on Gaza in May 2021. Our latest visual looks at what life is like for the hundreds of thousands of children who survived, for whom a ceasefire offers little relief. This is childhood in Gaza.

Around half of Gaza’s population of 2 million are children, and 41% are aged 14 or under, which means hundreds of thousands of kids have known only life under the dire conditions of Israeli blockade, which began in 2007.
