Shot in the head and chest: Investigating the killings of children in Gaza - BBC Africa

The BBC World Service has compiled reports of Layan al‑Majdalawi, a two‑year‑old, and Mira Tanboura, six, victims of separate incidents in Gaza in November 2023. It also includes data from over 160 cases of child fatalities, with 95 where the child was shot in the head or chest, most under age 12, covering the conflict from its early weeks up to July. Due to restrictions on foreign journalists and the destruction in Gaza, gathering information has been difficult. Warning: contains distressing images of children with injuries, many fatal.
