Ghaidaa Omar Salama Dhair

Location Rafah

Seven-year-old Ghaidaa from the Msabeh area in Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was a very stubborn and daring child with a strong personality. She liked her aunt Jasmine. “She used to spend so much time playing with her cousin Tasneem,” Sheikh Mohamed Dhair said, a survivor of the attack.

At approximately 4:29 am on 29 July 2014 an Israeli drone launched a missile at the Dhair family's house. During the evacuation, when seven people had just stepped out of the main door of the house and the rest of the group was close behind, a second missile hit the house. The three-storey house was completely destroyed. Twenty persons were killed, including Ghaidaa. Three persons were injured.

“Honestly, I miss them all so much. I feel that life after them is worth nothing," added Sheikh Mohamed Dhair.
