Fifteen-year-old Amro from the city of Rafah in the South of the Gaza Strip was a kind and ambitious child. He worked to get some money to help his family. His ambition was to be an IT engineer. He wished to have a mobile phone and a laptop. “He helped his mother around the house, and did minor repairs as well,” his mother said.
On 3 August 2014, Amro and his family relocated to an UNRWA school, seeking safe shelter. Amro went to fill empty bottles of drinking water for his family from the school’s yard. An Israeli warplane fired a missile at the school. Amro was immediately killed.
