IN the 49 days of Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip up to the ceasefire, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports 20,031 killed and over 36,000 injured. The dead include 8,100 children, many of whom remain buried under rubble. Up to 900 children have had limbs amputated. Among the dead are 210 medical staff, over 100 teachers and 67 journalists. The intensity of the killing alone means the war is well over a thousand times worse than what was experienced in our own thirty-year conflict.
