Abdullah Jendeia, aged 19, went to get food and didn’t come back

Abdullah Omar Jendeia, 19, was killed on Sunday, July 20, when he went out to find food, according to his sister Nadreen.

"He was impatient to go and fetch some food that day," she said. "I told him, 'Just eat the few lentils we have left,' but he refused."

She said Abdullah left the house about 4pm to walk more than 3.1 miles north to an aid truck that comes weekly, hoping to come back with flour to feed the family. He was with two of his brothers and some in-laws.

At about 11 that night, one of the brothers, Mahmoud, called Nadreen to tell her that while they were waiting by the aid truck Israeli soldiers had suddenly opened fire on them.
