Two-year-old Zyiad Ashraf Al Khalili from Gaza City was a quiet but clever little boy. “He was very attached to his mother and used to follow her everywhere,” said his grandmother, while crying.

[It was difficult to get more information about Zyiad as his whole family was killed]

On 30 July 2014, the Al Khalili family evacuated their home due to intense Israeli shelling against civilian houses in the neighborhood. They waited in the yard for a car.  Without warning, an Israeli drone targeted them with a missile. Eight people were killed, including Zyiad, his father Ashraf, 37, his mother Nidaa, 28, his sister Deema, 4; his brother Zayed, 3; his uncle Ahmed, 27; his wife Aya, 23; and their daughter Lama, 5.
