As Seen On TV: Donate to Children in Gaza

Jan. 8, 2009— -- Israeli and Palestinian children, the youngest victims in the current conflict, are separated by many things, but share fear. Since the Gaza battles broke out 13 days ago, at least 257 Palestinian children have been killed, and more than 1,000 wounded, according to the United Nations. Abed, 12, was taking refuge in the U.N. school in northern Gaza when Israeli shells destroyed it. He escaped, but several friends did not. Across the border in Israel, danger from the sky has forced children to spend several hours a day in a bomb shelter that has been turned into a makeshift playroom underground. Here are ways to help the relief effort for children.
