Three-year-old Ahmed from Gaza City was loved by everyone. He was said to have had a beautiful face and cheeks and an attractive personality that captured hearts. He liked to buy candies and sweets, so he asked his father for money whenever he saw him. “Once, when his finger was injured, he went and got the first aid bag himself and brought it to his father to have him fix it,” said his aunt.

On 21st August 2014, the whole family was riding a motorcycle cart, heading to their land to carry out some works, when they were targeted by Israeli forces. Three of them were immediately killed, including Ahmed, while others died later from their injuries.
