The deaths of four children from what is alleged to be a Israeli naval missile strike has provoked an international outpouring of grief and outrage.
Shocking images have circulated social media of the bodies of the four boys - identified as Zakaria Ahed Bakr, 10, Ahed Atef Bakr, 10, Mohammed Ramez Bakr, 11, and Ismail Mohammed Bakr, 9 - with most outlets blurring or obscuring the grisly imagery.
Middle East Eye was on the scene to witness the horrible aftermath of the incident.
