One-year-old Abdel Kareem was nicknamed Karimo. He was from the Msabeh area in Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. Karimo was said to be a very mischievous child. He recently started to walk and to talk. He really liked drinking milk. He liked birds and would spend time among his grandmother's chicken coops.

On Friday, 1 August 2014, in the midst of intense random shelling by Israeli forces throughout Rafah, Ibrahim Sheikh Al Eid decided that his family should evacuate their house. With his wife and three children, he left the home looking for a taxi. They could only find an ambulance, so they accompanied the injured therein. The ambulance was attacked by two missiles from an Israeli drone. Everyone inside the ambulance was killed including baby Karimo.
