Firas al-Ghaf

Firas al-Ghaf

Age 2 · Khan Younis

Firas, two and a half years old, was displaced with his family to Khan Younis. He wanted to eat biscuits, so his father went to bring him some filled with dates. He left, full of hope to return with them for his son. Moments later, the house where they had taken shelter was hit by an Israeli airstrike, and he found his child had been killed. He placed the biscuits beside his lifeless body and said in anguish, "Wake up, Baba, I brought you the biscuits." Firas was killed in an Israeli airstrike along with his mother and seven others.
