OUR CHILDREN

A nine-year-old Palestinian girl has been shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in the southern Gaza Strip. Rania Aram died on Thursday after being hit by a bullet in the neck as she stood in front of her house in the Khan Yunus refugee camp. Witnesses said the shot was fired from an army position on the outskirts of the illegal Jewish settlement, Gush Katif. Some 23 Palestinian children have been killed since 30 September – the majority receiving bullets in the chest, neck and head. On 30 September, 15 Palestinian children were killed within hours of each other.
