Twelve-year-old Sha’ban from Block-12 in Al Bureij camp in Deir Al Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip was a calm child. His ambition was to be an engineer. He loved playing football with his brother and cousins. His closest friend was his sister Malak, 17, who was said to keep his secrets. He was an outstanding student. “I never imagined I would lose my brother, father, and mother. I feel so lonely,” said his sister Malak.
