Save the Children: Israel Has Killed on Average a Child Every Hour for Past 23 Months
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save the Children reports that Israel has killed more than 20,000
Palestinian children over the past 23 months - this means at least one
Palestinian child has been killed every hour on average by Israeli
forces. The group said, "If the international community does not step
up, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be lost."

Meanwhile, another six Palestinians have died from "famine and
malnutrition," bringing the total to almost 400, including 140 children,
who have starved to death.
