Abdel Aziz from Gaza was killed the day before his third birthday. He was very close to his mother. He especially liked to play with one of his cousins who was named Mohammed. He liked playing around and imitating his brothers all the time. “He said that he wanted to be an engineer in the future,” said his mother.

At approximately 5:00 pm on Wednesday 30 July 2014, the Israeli forces announced a truce. The grandfather went upstairs to the roof with his grandchildren, as they always did before the war. Soon after they got to the roof, an Israeli warplane targeted them. As a result, the grandfather Abdel Kareem, 70, and his 7 grandchildren, Lena, 8; Malak, 7; Ola, 9; Amena, 8; Abdel Haleem, 5; Abdel Aziz, 3; and Liyan, 3, were all killed instantly.
