Hussein Sufian Al Jammal
Date of birth: 22 November 2004
Date of death: 20 July 2014
9-year-old Hussein Sufian Al Jammal from Gaza City struggled with hypertension, which made him very close to his mother. He liked playing around on the computer and his father had recently taught him how to use Photoshop. On 20 July 2014, amid a rise in Israeli attacks against residential houses, the Al Jammal family decided to try to evacuate their neighborhood. The family members were separated from each other in the smoke and chaos of the attacks. Hussein and his father evacuated in an ambulance that was in the area. Then Israeli warplanes attacked the ambulance. Hussein died instantly and his father was injured. Hussein’s uncle Shaker, 47, and his daughter Marah, 11, were also killed.
“We really miss him, especially during meal times. All of the members of the family are gathered; but one of us is not there. I can’t find words to describe how awful the Israeli attacks against children and ambulances are. Hussein is my son. I really wanted to see him grow up. After his death we are just bodies without souls,” Hussein’s father said.
