Five-year-old Abdullah from Gaza City was said to be a mischievous and stubborn boy. He liked to play all the time. He liked to stay with his aunt who helped him with his studies.  “Everybody loved him. His ambition was to be a doctor like his cousin Noor. He loved her and wanted to marry her so that they could work together,” said his aunt.
