Spanish media has recently published a picture of injured children in Gaza as victims of the latest unrest that swept the Western Saharan city of Laayoune (moroccan territory) in what was seen an attempt to turn public opinion against the Moroccan government.

A picture that features victims of Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip in June 2006 was used by famous Spanish newspapers like El País, El Mundo, and the electronic El Semenal Digital to attack the Moroccan regime for targeting children in its war with the Polisario Front over the fate of Western Sahara.

The image showed two Palestinian children who had their bloody heads wrapped in gauze while one of them was screaming with pain.

According to El País, the most widely circulated in Spain, those two children were being treated of wounds they sustained during a raid by the Moroccan police on a Western Saharan refugee camps and described them as “victims of Morocco's repression.”
