3,200 children missing/44 buses
More than 8,000 Palestinians in Gaza are missing as of January 11, 2024. The number that are children are unspecified, but based on the % of overall fatalities that are children (42% as of Jan 11), it is possible to estimate that at least 3,200 of those missing (40%) are children. Those missing have been buried in the rubble for weeks, and most are presumed dead. 3,200 divided by 72 = 44 buses.
