Location Gaza
4-year-old Asem from Gaza was described as a lovable little boy. He couldn’t wait to start kindergarten in September and had asked his mother to get a school bag for him. He was very close to his father and loved it when his father read to him bedtime stories.
On 20 July 2014, when Asem and his family were asleep, an Israeli warplane attacked their home. Asem and 10 others were killed in the attack.
“I still can’t cope. I’m still really shocked. I lost 3 of my children. I will always remember them,” said his father.
