Ahmed Mohamed Abu Nejem from Jabaliya refugee camp was about to start his final year in secondary school when he was killed on 3 August 2014 in an Israeli attack on his house. Seven others, including his father, grandfather, and his siblings were killed. According to his sister, he had been quite a young 17-year-old – childish and a bit stubborn – but he had started to become more serious and responsible in the months before he was killed. “I can’t believe that I lost my whole family all at the same time. Sometimes I cry for them, other times I pray for them. I hope I can meet them in heaven,” says Eman, aged 24, his surviving sister.
