Kids under fire exposes atrocities against children in Gaza, with Josh Rushing

Since the start of its genocide, Israel has killed some 17,500 children in Gaza. That’s an average of around 30 children each day – more than one child every hour – for more than 540 days.

It’s a staggering and horrific toll. What makes it even more incomprehensible is that doctors report seeing children arriving every day in Gaza’s overstretched and barely functional trauma centers with gunshot wounds.

“Their accounts, corroborated across hospitals and over time, suggest a disturbing pattern. This is not random. It is systematic,” say the makers of a new episode of Fault Lines, the flagship documentary series from Al Jazeera English.

The film, “Kids under fire,” investigates these atrocities through the stories of individual children, including Mira, a 4-year-old girl who miraculously survived being shot in the head, and testimonies from healthcare workers from the United States who witnessed them.

We watch excerpts from “Kids under fire” and speak to Josh Rushing, the Emmy Award-winning senior correspondent for Fault Lines.
