A much better, kinder, cheaper, more humane, more rational thing to do with us would have been to kill us.

How to calm a one-year-old and a two-year-old and reassure them that they're safe when you yourself are terrified?

How to look into your children's eyes when you can't keep them safe, sound and healthy?

But today, it was very near. We fear we're next.

Scarlett Wong, a clinical psychologist for Doctors Without Borders, or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), travelled to Gaza in March.

Part of her role was to locate and support 17,000 unaccompanied children, including "child heads of households" — the term given to young children who had to look after their siblings.
