Sixteen-year-old Asma'a from Block 4 in Al Bureij refugee camp in the south of the Gaza Strip was an outstanding student at school. She was always laughing and she liked playing. She was a committed child. She helped around the house, especially her grandfather. She liked grilled food.

On 30 July 2014, seven families gathered in Bara’a’s house seeking shelter. While they were sleeping an Israeli missile hit the house. No prior warning was given. “We found ourselves buried beneath rubble,” said her stepmother, Sanaa, 45.
