Children of Gaza
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
During the Israeli attack on Gaza in 2008, 1,300 Palestinians died and 4,000 homes were destroyed. Less visible was the devastating impact on the children of Gaza, whose family members were killed and their homes reduced to rubble. This film gives some idea of what they endured and how they will grow up — and there is nothing here to offer any hope for the future. The children play war games and pretend to torture one another. Nightmares are common. The blockade means that their families are unable to rebuild their homes or get medical treatment abroad.
