Gaza death toll rises to 48 after fighting ends
By Fares Akram, Associated Press, Gaza City
Transcribed from the clipping
“GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The death toll from three days of fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip rose to 48 on Thursday… Layan al-Shaer, 11, died of wounds sustained in an Israeli strike… Her father, Hani al-Shaer, said she had been playing outside… The dead include Nayef al-Awdat, 14, and Mohammed Abu Ktaifa, 8… Israel says some of the children were killed by rockets that fell short.
The Palestinian rights group Al Mezan attributes all of the deaths to Israeli fire…”
Context added by this archive
Four Gazan children named in one wire story, three of them with ages. The clipping also carries both attributions for how they died, unresolved, which is how the record stood.
A correction
The presentation slide this scan came from paired it with the label for the Lion’s Den feature on the neighboring slide. The two labels are switched; the dispatch here is Fares Akram’s Gaza toll story of 11–12 August 2022.
