    These days one hears a lot about Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, adults who have been specifically trained for warfare, who are nevertheless traumatized by the experience of seeing comrades injured or killed, or suffering injuries or danger themselves.

How much worse then for children in Gaza who witness and experience these events day after day, week after week with no end and with no place of safety.
