Name: Maysaa Tawfiq Abu Jame’e
Date of birth: 20 July 2014
Date of death: 20 July 2014
Maysaa from Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip was not born yet at the time of the attack. Her mother was in her eighth month of pregnancy. Maysaa was killed in her mother’s womb. “I named her Maysaa because it was my sister’s name. Her siblings were very enthusiastic about having the new baby. They were anxious for their mother to give birth, so that they could play with and take care of her,” said her father.
On 20 July 2014, just before sunset, the Abu Jamee’s three-story house was bombarded by missiles by Israeli forces. There was no prior warning given. “It was a real massacre; twenty-six people were killed. Three people were injured and survived,” said her father.
