Nine-year-old Omar from Gaza City was a well-loved boy. He said his ambition was to be an astronaut so that he could explore the universe and visit planets other than earth. He helped his mother and aunt around the house. He liked to play with his brothers. He used to feed the chickens and cats. He would tell his cat, “I'll see you in heaven,” said his aunt.
