The Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee held an exhibit entitled “Grief Beyond Words” at the university to write the names of 7,000 children under the age of 12 who have been killed this year in Gaza. Data Tech for Palestine provided the list of victims with Arabic and English names and birth date of each child who was known to have been killed as Israel continues to bombard Gaza. The exhibit ran through Oct. 19.

While the total number of those killed is in dispute, several medical organizations put the total toll at far higher than the official estimate of around 43,000 people.
“It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 118,908,” wrote a group of health care workers, earlier this month (www.gazahealthcareletters.org/usa-letter-oct-2-2024). This number is consistent with one earlier this year estimated in the Lancet, a British medical journal.
In addition, the entire Gaza Strip is at risk of famine, according to a recent report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
