8-year-old Afnan from Gaza was an intelligent child and an outstanding student. She liked to take care of her appearance and was always particularly anxious about buying new dresses for Eid. She spent most of her time at her uncle's house and she loved drawing. She also had a sweet voice. Afnan wanted to become an English teacher in the future. "I still miss her," said her aunt.

On 17 July 2014, Afnan and her cousins were feeding pigeons on the rooftop of their house. Then without any prior warning, an Israeli warplane launched a missile at them. 3 children including Afnan were killed instantly.
