Hadi Hail Abu Dahrouj

Location Der Elbalah

Hadi was one and a half-years and from Al Zawaida in the middle of the Gaza Strip was an active child. He had a strong personality. He was close to his grandmother and used to help her raise her chickens. He liked to go to the beach. “He liked to hide and make his family search for him. We used to find him near the chicken coops,” said his uncle Sulaiman.

On 16 July 2014, Abdullah's family were asked by Israeli forces to evacuate their house.  Shelling began, and after ten minutes most of the house was destroyed, with only a small part remaining inhabitable. The family returned to this small part of the house. On 22 July 2014, without warning, the house was attacked again. Six people were instantly killed, including Abdullah.  “I feel so sad about losing them. I visit their graves for hours, just talking to them,” said his cousin Abed Rabu.
