One Child a Day: Remembering Gaza’s Children

[Wedonttalkaboutboris]

I’ll be using this thread to remember one child each day who has been killed in Gaza.

This isn’t for political debate, just a space to honour the names, faces, and stories that risk being lost in the noise. I’m here as I see this as a matter of human dignity and ethics, not just politics or conflict.

I kindly ask all political debate be kept to the many threads on the ‘conflict in the middle east’ board.

I’ll post one child per day, with whatever information is available- name, age, photo if possible, a sentence about who they were. Please feel free to follow quietly or respond with a candle 🕯️ or heart 💔.

If anyone else would like to post a child a day to remember, please feel free. I ask that posts stick to verified information, keep the tone respectful, and focus on remembrance rather than politics.

If this is too heavy, that’s entirely understandable. Please just scroll past.

Dear God. I had no idea. Those poor Children, killed before they really lived

Thank you I have just seen this thread. Thank you for naming the children.
