This is heartbreaking. Questions posed by children in Gaza compiled by staff at the Palestine Trauma Centre:
“After we die, will I hear your voice?”
“When I die, will they put me in a grave with my mom and dad?”
“Why do they always bomb us?”
“If they bomb someone while I was walking next to him, would I be martyred?”
“When a missile hits us do we feel pain or die immediately?”
“Do children who have their legs amputated grow new legs?”
“Do the pilots who bomb children have children?”
“Will I die today?”
“Why do they hate us?”
“Can the planes see us when we’re hiding?”
“When will we stop waiting and standing in line for fresh water?”
“When will we go back to school?”
“Will I have a birthday next year?”
“Will I see my friends again?”
“Is it true the world doesn’t care?”
