Gaza Marriage Video Not What It Might Have Seemed
The video that appeared to depict the mass marriage of Children in Gaza that was briefly posted here was not in fact what it seemed. It has been brought to our attention that the children in the footage were not brides but participants in the ceremony. We are now convinced that this explanation is correct and have therefore removed the clip.
Many thanks to Tim Marshall for clarifying the correct context of the footage.
