Location Rafah
Five-year-old Malak from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was the only daughter in her family. She liked to play with her toys and dolls. She was a calm but stubborn child. She watched Toyor al Jannah children’s TV. “She dreamed of having a white dress like a bride and she got one before she died,” her uncle Joma’ah, 27, said.
At 6:30 am on 3 August 2014, Wael Al Ghool’s house was bombarded by Israeli warplanes without warning. The house was completely destroyed. Seven people were killed instantly including Malak, her brother Mostafa, one month, her cousin Asmaa, 22, her cousin Hanadi, 28, and Khadra, 64.
