Short Link:
Name: Aya Sami Anwar Al Ramlawy
Date of Birth: 16 February 2005
Date of Death: 29 July 2014
Aya from Khan Younis was the first child in her family. She was a clever and intelligent girl and was first in her class. She has many certificates of appreciation and she was a member of her school Band Scouts.
Her hobbies were drawing and painting; she would imitate her father’s way of painting. “Her ambition was to be a doctor, but her mother was hopping that she would be a lawyer because she was a very good speaker and a very persuasive person,” said her father.
Nine-year-old Aya was killed on 29 July 2014 when the Al Dali building - adjacent to her house - was targeted by Israeli warplanes. Her mother took her to the bathroom, and as soon as her mother left the room, the bombardment took place. Aya was killed and the house was destroyed. A number of family members were injured.
