Six-year-old Bara’a from Jabalia town in the North of the Gaza Strip had blonde hair and green eyes. Bara’a liked to play ball with other children. He had many toy cars and planes. “Once we prepared a surprise party on our parents’ wedding anniversary. I raised my brothers because our mother was too busy”, said his sister Sabah, 12.

“During the war, our family was forcibly displaced to my grandfather's house in Jabalia. On 30th July 2014, an Israeli missile hit near the house. It was thought to be a warning missile. While everyone started to evacuate, my mother was directly targeted by an Israeli shell. Six people were immediately killed including Bara’a”, Sabah said.
