This report should break something in all of us. 15,613 children. The first 27 pages of the report list children whose ages are 0. 26% were under the age of 5

Screenshot from an article that reads

On Monday, the ministry published a list of names of 15,613 children under the age of 18 who it said had been killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Among them, 890 children were under the age of 1, and 274 were born and died during the war. Almost a quarter, 26%, were under the age of 5.

On this International Women's Day, I want to highlight Fatima Mernissi—sociologist, feminist, and one of the sharpest critics of patriarchal interpretations of Islam. If you haven’t read Beyond the Veil or The Veil and the Male Elite, today’s a good day to start. #IWD
