Ayloul Qaud, 7 years old

Ayloul was “the most beautiful child I have ever seen in my life, inside and out,” said her aunt Hiba Muqdad. “We would walk in the street and she would refuse to buy anything, knowing that other children in the street were unable to eat.”

On July 30, 2025, the Washington Post published the names of 18,500 children killed in Gaza. For some, like Ayloul, the Post published photos and stories supplied by their families.
