The names and faces of the 17 Palestinian children killed in Israel's
onslaught

These sixteen Palestinian
<https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine> children were looking
forward to a summer filled with joy. They planned to play football, head to
the beach and attend summer camp.

But over the course of three horrific days, Israeli forces unleashed a wave
of air strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip, killing 48people, including the
17 children, and wounding at least 360 others.

"There is no safe space in the Gaza Strip for Palestinian children and
their families and they increasingly bear the brunt of Israel’s repeated
military offensives," Ayed Abu Eqtaish, the accountability programme
director at the NGO Defence for Children International - Palestine (DCIP),
said
<https://www.dci-palestine.org/israeli_airstrike_kills_5_year_old_palestinian_girl_in_gaza>
in
a statement.

While a ceasefire came into effect on Sunday following an agreement
brokered by Egypt <https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/egypt>,
Palestinians have lamented the devastating bombing campaign as more details
emerge of those who died.

The Israeli army has claimed that some of the civilian casualties were
killed by misfired rockets, without providing independently-verified
evidence. The Palestinian health ministry says all of the people killed,
including the 17 children, died as a result of Israeli air strikes.

Some families have been willing to share their stories, while others have
been in a state of mourning and have asked for privacy.

Here are the names and faces of the children that died:
Alaa Abdullah Qaddoum, aged five

in the Shujaiya neighbourhood in the northern Gaza Strip.

Her seven-year-old brother and father were wounded in the strike.

"Alaa was an innocent five-year-old playing in the street with her brothers
and cousins. What did she do to be killed?" her cousin, Abu Diab Qaddoum,
told Middle East Eye.

people were killed in the raid.

"The house was hit without any prior notice," Ahmad said. "Homes are
overcrowded here, housing seven to eight people each, and they are so close
to each other, so when one house is hit several houses around it are
impacted."

sustained in the Israeli bombing.

She was hit by shrapnel that damaged vital areas in her brain.
