People bury the body of a Palestinian child, Yehya Abu Gazal, who was killed after Israeli soldiers fired at figures they spotted near rocket launchers, in northern Gaza August 29, 2007.

I was struck by this beautiful and sad photograph. I reminded me of another photograph of children killed in conflict by Carolyn Cole taken at the beginning if the Iraq war. The composition and light add to the solemn tenderness of the moment.
