The Washington Post published a comprehensive piece dedicated to the victims of the war in the Gaza Strip. At its center is a two-page list of the names of thousands of children who have died since October 7, 2023, [reports](https://entrevue.fr/moyen-orient/60-000-morts-a-gaza-dont-18-500-enfants-the-washington-post-publie-la-liste-insoutenable-des-victimes/) Entrevue. The newspaper cites data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, which states that approximately **60,000 people** have died since the beginning of the conflict, including **18,500 children**. The publication emphasizes that these figures likely do not reflect the full scale of the tragedy.  Journalists also present the results of an independent scientific study published in January. Its authors used statistical modeling methods and compared hospital data, eyewitness testimonies, satellite images, and online obituaries. According to their estimates, the actual number of fatalities due to hostilities may exceed **64,000 people**. Particularly striking is the double page published by the newspaper, completely filled with the names of deceased children. Each line is a name, age, and a life cut short. Among the victims are infants who were only a few months old. One of the most tragic stories included in the publication is that of six-year-old Hind. After a shelling, the girl found herself trapped in a car next to the bodies of six deceased relatives. She managed to call the emergency service, and the operator of the Palestinian Red Crescent stayed on the line with her for more than three hours, trying to calm the child and reading her verses from the Quran. The girl pleaded for help to arrive as soon as possible, but rescuers could not reach the site due to ongoing fighting. Twelve days later, her body was found. The Washington Post notes that the published list remains incomplete. Many of the deceased are still under the rubble of destroyed buildings and are not included in the official statistics. According to the editorial board, publishing names helps to see behind the dry figures specific human destinies — children, each of whom had a family, dreams, and a future, all cut short by war.
