Name: Ameen Yousif Dawood Abu Madi
Date of birth: 15 July 2004
Date of death: 2 August 2014
Ten-year-old Ameen from the town of Al Nusairat, Deir Al Balah, in the middle of the Gaza Strip was very close to his parents. He would cry and become upset when his parents would go out and he would kiss and hug them when they came back. Ameen had an intellectual disability. “I miss him and his brother Hasan so much,” said his grandfather.
On 2 August 2014, the three-story house belonging to the Abu Madi family was bombarded by Israeli warplane missiles without prior warning. Six people were immediately killed, including Ameen. Many others were injured.
