The Gaza Health Ministry's list of the dead, which Haaretz translated from Arabic with the help of AI and which spans more than 2,000 pages, is a document whose significance is rivaled only by the controversy it has generated. Governments worldwide, along with researchers and human rights organizations, have treated it as the closest thing to an official estimate of the death toll. Israel and conservative researchers, on the other hand, have raised doubts. They have criticized the list, attempted to undermine its credibility and pointed to errors, though these appear negligible.
Hind Rajab was 5 years and 8 months old when she died. Her position in row 5,918 means that 5,917 children younger than her were killed in the war. The first name in the table is Waad Sabbah, who was killed six weeks after Hind. She and 17 other newborns died within their first 24 hours. One hundred and fifteen children died before reaching one month. A total of 1,054 children died before their first birthday.
At one time enough is enough.
