Since the beginning of the war on philosophy eroticismGaza in October, the death toll has been estimated at 27,000 lives, with 66,000 wounded. Over 11,500 children are reported to have been killed. Now, some 120 days into the war, the humanitarian crisis faced by Palestinians continues to worsen.
Amid destruction in Gaza, more than 10 children are losing one or more limbs every day, and more than 1,000 children have had to have one or both legs amputated. This reality, according to Save the Children, is all the more harrowing as medical supplies and officials are in grave shortage. The United Nations deemed the land "a graveyard" for Palestinian children.
A newly-launched online auction is focusing its efforts on providing support for children who have been critically injured by the war. #BooksforGaza, led by writers Sonia Faleiro and Fatima Bhutto and literary agent Julia Churchill, is a global coalition of writers raising funds for the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund. The fund is dedicated to providing medical support to children in Gaza, treating them in Lebanon, and alleviating the burden on Gaza's fragile medical ecosystem.
