Opinion: The TikTok generation is seeing the truth about Israel's war on Gaza

Gaza is now likely to have the largest number of child amputees of any conflict in modern history.

That number has risen enormously in line with Israel’s ongoing onslaught through densely populated areas in a strip no longer than a marathon route.
