Monzer from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was an obedient and calm child. He was close to his father. He liked to play football and fly paper kites. He was enthusiastic about going to school. His ambition was to be a doctor. “He was very scared during the war,” his mother Mervat said. She is 26 years old.
On 3 August 2014, Monzer and his family were in an UNRWA school shelter. They had arrived a few days earlier seeking safe shelter. Monzer was on his way to the bathroom with his sister when an Israeli missile hit near the school’s main gate. Thirteen people were immediately killed including Monzer and his sister Aya, who was four at the time of her death. Monzer was five years old.
