The stuffed animals, initially 15,000 of them, dressed in black t-shirts emblazoned with the message "I am not just a number. I am human with an identity," were placed on display in the capital Doha by Lebanese artist Bachir Mohammad to pay tribute to Gazan children killed since the start of the Gaza conflict. - REUTERS

00:00The Echo of Lost Innocence is an art installation made out of 15,000 art pieces.
00:19Each piece represents the echo of the voice of the martyred children of Gaza, who were
00:24killed due to Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023.

00:35even religiously, culturally and socially as well.

00:42The cement symbolizes the destruction that happened and is still happening in Gaza and
