Among the more than 19,450 people killed in Israel's war on the Gaza Strip this year is Dunia Abu Mohsen, a 12-year-old who previously lost a leg in an Israeli airstrike and shared the experience in an interview published Monday. Abu Mohsen was killed on Sunday by an Israeli tank-fired shell that hit al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, according to Defense for Children International - Palestine , which spoke with the child on-camera last month.

'Dunia's story is the distillation of the Palestinian child's experience in Gaza,' DCIP's Miranda Cleland said on social media Monday.
