Amna Ghaben was wounded and lost her 8-year old sister when an Israeli missile hit her home."In 2007, the Israeli army continues to deploy the same violent policy towards Palestinian children with eight children being killed so far this year," a press release from the group said on Thursday.
"This brings the total number of children killed since the beginning of the second intifada in September 2000, by the Israeli army and illegal Israeli settlers, to 860."
Additionally, 5,200 Palestinian children have been arrested by the Israeli army and about 400 are still being held in Israeli prisons and interrogation centres, the statement said.
Palestinian children also suffer unusually levels of stress and mental problems - largely as a result of living in a state of near-constant insecurity.
