Over 1000 people have been killed as a result of Israel's offensive. More than 300 of the dead are children.
A senior United Nations official has said that the number of child casualties has tripled since Israel launched its ground invasion.
Many have seen their parents and siblings die before their own eyes. For those that have survived Israel's onslaught, the physical and emotional scars of what they've witnessed may never leave them.
