Israel killed 50 children over year

The death of 17-year-old Adham Amara, who was shot in the face, means 50 children have now been killed by Israeli forces during a year of Great March of Return protests.

Another 6,000 were wounded according to Save the Children, who responded to Amara’s death with a call for children to be protected.

“The scars they bear today will last them for a lifetime. We fear that more children could be injured or killed today,” said Jeremy Stoner, Save the Children’s regional director.

"We echo the UN’s call for Israel to revise military rules of engagement related to the use of live ammunition against children and urge both sides to ensure the protests remain peaceful.”

At least 26 children have been wounded today, according to Gaza's health ministry of health.
