Short Link:
Name: Amal Amjad Abdel Aziz Oweda “Ammulah” (Her nickname)
Date of birth: 13 May 2009
Date of death: 4 August 2014
Five-year-old Amal from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was a calm and curious child. She liked going to her kindergarten. She enjoyed watching cartoons. She liked to play with and to name her dolls. She always fed the cats and birds.
During the war, she was afraid of the explosions. “She wanted to be a doctor when she was older so that she could help injured people,” her grandmother recalls.
On 4 August 2014, Amal and her brother Mohamed took some food and went to the roof of their house to feed their birds. An Israeli warplane targeted them without prior warning. “Mohamed and his sister sustained serious injuries and died from the attack,” their grandmother said.
