Over 10 thousand people died among them at least 3 thousand children. People sometimes ask why there are so many children there - I guess, since these people have not too much to do and not too much hope that many of them survive - at least they may have hope in the future generation.
here is more about their awful fate... frankly how can you make these children to love Israel since they have to go through so much trauma?

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip — Youssef Sharaf has been trying for more than a week to dig out the bodies of his four children, buried under his destroyed home in Gaza City.
His parents and his wife were killed in the same attack. So were his three brothers and two sisters, his two uncles and their spouses — and so many of their children.
“All the families there were civilians who were looking for a simple life,” he told The Washington Post by phone. “We thought we lived in a safe place.”
Sharaf, 38, was out distributing food to displaced Gazans on Oct. 25 when he got a call about an Israeli strike on his family’s apartment tower. He raced back but it was too late. The intensity of the blast had collapsed the multistory building.
His three daughters — Malak, 11, Yasmin, 6, and Nour, 3 — and his only son, 10-year-old Malik, were lost beneath the rubble.
“Can you imagine my pain?” he asked.
