28 children orphaned by Flotilla attack
"Twenty-eight children lost their fathers as a result of the Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla. Nine people were shot dead on May 31 by Israeli soldiers who attacked the Turkish vessel M.V. Mavi Marmara as it attempted to transport humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip. Eight of them were fathers whose children are now yatims due to the Israeli assault on the Freedom Flotilla. The Arabic word yatim is usually translated as orphan. However, in the Islamic religion, the word yatim actually means a child whose father is dead or whose father and mother are dead. This is the reason why Islamic media outlets are calling the children orphans."
