Nationality: Palestine

Pleas of surviving relatives: Relatives of the al-Zamli family in Rafah spoke through tears about the unbearable loss of two-year-old Hoor and her mother Khuloud, who was five months pregnant. “She was only a child, barely beginning her life,” one family member said. “She held her toys in her hands, and now we hold her lifeless body. The world cannot imagine our pain.” Her father, wounded in the bombing, cried out that the attack not only killed his wife and daughter but also the unborn baby they had been waiting to welcome. “They were our joy, our future. In one moment, everything was taken from us. I ask the world, how can this be allowed? How many more children must die before the world acts?” Other relatives expressed their disbelief that their home was struck without warning. “We had no chance to run, no chance to protect the children. The occupation turned our house into rubble and buried our happiness under it. We demand justice, not only for Hoor and Khuloud, but for all the children of Gaza who are being killed in their homes.”
