PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, July 9: In Gaza, despite the ceasefire, civilians continue to die – many of them children. Next, newspapers examine whether Ukraine can realistically manufacture Patriot missiles. Also, new research sheds light on the impact of war on wildlife. And finally, Gen Z is changing the narrative around hangovers...
La Croix reports that, in Gaza, around 1,050 Palestinians have been killed since the so-called ceasefire on 10 October. According to the UN, 28% of the victims are children – an average of one young Gazan every day. The newspaper argues that the people of Gaza are "disappearing from our radar", largely because of the media restrictions imposed by the Israeli authorities. Meanwhile, Le Monde highlights the plight of those who survive, many of them left with life-changing injuries. Citing the World Health Organisation, it notes that Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world, and examines the challenges they face during recovery.
