Karim Abu Shamala

Age 9 · 25 October 2023 · غزة

A smart child in the fourth grade, his father described him as his greatest victory in life. He loved mathematics and could read any number, no matter how long it was. He was an ambitious and special child who dreamed of becoming a screenwriter like his father. He acted in several music videos for Ramadan songs and had begun to experiment with voice-over work, trying to learn and develop his skills all on his own. He was excited to celebrate his ninth birthday and had already invited his cousins and friends to celebrate with him. However, the occupation killed Karim ten days before his birthday, along with his grandparents, his paternal uncles, and their children, depriving his parents of their firstborn, their joy, and the light of their home.
