Date of birth: 7 January 2001

Date of death: 4 August 2014

Thirteen-year-old Mohamed from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was an obedient child. He liked to raise birds, cats, and fish. During the war, he spent a long time browsing the Internet. He loved watching the National Geographic channel. He liked to dismantle and assemble toys.  “I raised him till he was four, then he moved to his parent’s house,” his grandmother said.

On 4 August 2014, Amal and her brother Mohamed took some food and went to the roof of the 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.
