While Israeli children return to school, kids in Gaza sift through rubble to find bodies of friends
Israeli media reported Monday that Israeli children from the town of Sderot have returned to school and normalcy. Meanwhile, children in every part of the Gaza Strip are either bleeding in overcrowded hospitals or sifting through the rubble of what used to be their schools, mosques and homes.
Eissa Ermallat, 12, was killed Saturday in Rafah while collecting firewood to try to heat his family's darkened home. He was among the last of the over 1300 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the three-week long offensive.
