17 year old Ola Bahaa Al Din Ghareeb from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was a loving and warm girl who loved life. She always helped her mother with the housework. Ola was described as the right hand of her mother. She liked painting and her drawings were displayed in her school’s exhibit. She hoped to enroll in university and to be a lawyer. “She liked to defend victims. She was very tactful and she was able to persuade people of her perspective,” said her mother, Basma, who is 51.

 

Ola had a fever during the war. He father decided to take her to Al Kuwaiti hospital to receive medical care. Ola and her father were walking in a bystreet when an Israeli drone fired a missile that struck them. Ola and her father, who was 59 at the time, were killed on the spot.
