By 15 May 2024, according to a UN estimate, over 14,500 children had been killed in Gaza by the Israeli army. 
This UN estimate, taken over the period from this war to 15 May 2024, i.e. 220 days, gives an average of 65.9 children killed per day. According to this calculation, on 11 June 2024, we can estimate the number of children killed at 16,279.57. 
Out of sheer hatred. It's unjustifiable, despicable, overwhelming, and my powerlessness saddens me, while all the powerful revel in their hypocrisy. Is this really the world we want to live in?
 
So I sculpt my dismay with the tiny but very real hope of helping them, one way or another.
