The children of Gaza suffered heavily during Israel's 22-day assault on the territory.

More than 400 were killed and many suffered severe shrapnel or blast injuries when the Israeli military bombarded Gaza with air and mortar strikes.

One father who lost his son is Suleima Baraka.

He was in the US and unable to return when an Israeli fighter jet bombed his home.

This is his story in his own words.
