死亡、受伤和目光呆滞的幼童图像几乎每天都充斥着媒体：一个儿童在家园被炸毁后一边流血一边呆若木鸡；幼小的尸体从废墟中被抬出；地中海沿岸标记佚名儿童死亡的小坟墓，等等。
Images of dead, injured, and distraught young children filled the media on an almost daily basis: a small boy sitting stunned and bleeding after his home was bombed; small bodies being lifted out of rubble; and small graves on the Mediterranean shoreline that mark the deaths of unknown children.
