| Details of the
last hours:
As the first rays of sun broke the dawn on January 7, 2009, young Radwan was filled with worry. As he lay in bed, he was thinking about the sheep that his family left behind when they ran away from their home in the Zietoun neighborhood – escaping the hell of the war in Gaza Strip. The 13-year-old boy was lost in , thought wondering how they were coping all alone So, after dawn, Radwan took his young brother Abd El-Rahman to rescue the poor animals from hunger. But as they ran into the fields, Israeli fighter planes launched rockets at them, ripping the two brother’s bodies to pieces Radwan’s younger brother, who did not turn 5 yet, remembers his brother fondly. Whenever he hears his older brother’s name his eyes flood with tears for a loss that cannot be replaced And so ended Radwan’s dreams of becoming a doctor or an engineer. And all that he left is a memory. A memory of a young boy who cared for his animals and lost his life for that.
