Azmi Khaled Yousif Badwan

Location Gaza

16-year-old Azmi from the Al Sha’af neighborhood in the east of Gaza was an active and kind child. He liked to have fun, laugh and joke around. Azmi was not good at school so he left school to support his family financially. He worked as a vegetable seller. His ambition was to have his own business in the future.

Azmi’s family evacuated their house during intense Israeli shelling and relocated to an UNRWA school for shelter. The family’s house was bombarded, so Azmi and his father went to check the house. Azmi and his father were directly targeted by an Israeli drone. Azmi was seriously injured and his father was immediately killed. “Azmi remained on the ground for three days without getting medical help. He died from his wounds,” said his mother.
