maim

Unicef said "relentless and indiscriminate bombardments" had resumed in Gaza, with 100 children killed or maimed every day in the 10 days to 31 March.

Many of the volunteers who took up arms three years ago have either been killed, maimed, or are too exhausted to fight any more.

The UN investigators documented the shooting at point-blank range of some protesters, the deliberate maiming of others, arbitrary arrests and torture.

Elsewhere, the UN said he had committed, and was responsible for, acts such as killing and maiming, sexual violence and abduction.

Despite exceptional coverage at times, what was most profoundly important about war in Gaza — what it was like to be terrorized, massacred, maimed and traumatized — remained almost entirely out of view.
