Gaza's Murdered Children: 18 000 Names We Must Never Forget
Let that sink in.
18 000 young lives ended by a ruthless genocide of Palestinians by an Israeli regime hellbent on exterminating a people through bombs, bullets and barricades.
Just this week, five journalists were assassinated by Israel's Zionist regime, bringing to over 270 the number of journalists and media workers killed in this latest escalation of conflict since October 7, 2023.
No human should turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the apartheid state of Israel. It is morally reprehensible, cruel and savage.
This is why we have chosen as a media organisation to honour the murdered children of Palestine.
When you visit <> today, you will see the names of these children appearing on your screen. There is also a special report – www.iol.co.za/special-report/palestine-children – where you will find the names listed of all 18,000 children killed since then.
This list of names is not just Israel's shame, but the shame of everyone who continues to turn a blind eye to this genocide.
The fact that children continue to be counted among the murdered Palestinians as this genocide drags on is an indictment of the collective humanity of the world.
These are their names. We dare not forget.

According to the International Federation of Journalists, more than 270 journalists and media workers have been killed since the beginning of the conflict. Activists and journalists made their way to the steps of St George's Cathedral. Palestinian flags and posters are being held high by those who have come to pay their respects to the journalists who have lost their lives in the conflict. Some motorists showed support by hooting as they drove passed the oldest cathedral in Southern Africa. Demonstrators also chanted on the steps of the cathedral, calling for more to be done for the people of Palestine The chairperson from the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Usuf Chikte, said they are also strongly opposed to what he said is the deliberate starvation and killing of Palestinians and journalists. "And we are standing here in defence of humanity to oppose the killings and the starvation and the displacement of the Palestinians by Israel.' Demonstrators are calling for justice for the journalists who have lost their lives and for accountability from media companies. They said they have not been impartial in reporting on the conflict. This past Sunday, five journalists were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Award-winning South African cartoonist, Jonathan Shapiro, was also in attendance and said he has been critical of the conflict in the Middle East for decades. 'I've been doing cartoons in support of Palestinians and condemning Israel for decades, actually, but of course in the last couple of years, since things have increased in their trusties and their ferocity and the genocide has become so apparent, I've done tougher and tougher cartoons, and I will keep doing them.' Freedom of Palestine demonstrators are also calling for intervention in war-torn Congo and Sudan.
