Qatar art installation sheds light on Gaza’s children killed by Israel
Al Jazeera
More than 15,000 teddy bear sculptures, each representing a Gaza child’s killing by Israel, unveiled in Doha.
Doha, Qatar – An art installation featuring more than 15,000 small teddy bear sculptures, each representing a child’s life lost during Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, has been unveiled in the Qatari capital Doha.
The teddy bears dressed in black t-shirts emblazoned with the message “I’m not just a number. I’m human. With an identity. With a homeland. I am Palestine. #Free Palestine” line up the pavement at Barahat Msheireb in Msheireb Downtown Doha.
The art installation titled Echo of Lost Innocence is part of the initiative to bring attention to the brutality of war and to what Palestinians, especially children, have gone through in the past 11 months.
Israel has killed more than 41,000 Palestinians, most of them children and women, since it launched its devastating war on October 7. Israel’s war came after Hamas and other Palestinian factions carried out an attack inside Israel, which led to at least 1,100 deaths. Campaigners have dubbed Israel’s military offensive as a war of vengeance, as Israeli forces have targeted Palestinian civilians in often indiscriminate attacks. The widescale devastation and human toll have caused a global outrage and protests calling for a ceasefire.
The installation will be on display between September 16-26. Each teddy bear will be sold, with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to the children of Gaza.
