Name: Marwa Salman Al Sersawi
Date of birth: 5 March 2001
Date of death: 20 July 2014
Thirteen-year-old Marwa from Gaza City was a very calm girl. She liked to play with her toys and she took care of other children. She dreamed of being a TV broadcaster for children’s programs. She helped her mother around the house and prepared coffee for her father. She ate very little food, saving it for her siblings.
On 20 July 2014, at 7:00 am, when more than one hundred people were in her house it was bombarded by Israeli forces. Everyone immediately evacuated the house. Marwa sustained shrapnel injuries to the head and died instantly; her father covered her with a blanket and carried her. A nearby house was bombarded too.
“I always remember Marwa. I used to have a nerves collapse thinking of her, but now I can’t even cry,” her mother said.
