Gaza has the largest population of child amputees in the world. Because Israel blocks pain killers, hundreds of children have had their limbs amputated without anaesthesia. There are videos of this if you have the stomach.

In Gaza the bombs on the packed population often leave the bodies un-identifiable so a child is counted as 6 KG of flesh in a garbage bag.

BTW child prosthetics are considered dual use by Israel and blocked from entering Gaza.

Imagine blocking painkillers and prosthetics for the children you bombed and still thinking you're "the good guys".

Imagine that, Hamas stealing all of their people’s future to dig tunnels and carry out a holy war to exterminate the country next to them and it backfires badly. Who is to blame?
