Fatima, 5 or 6, chose a song for her own funeral

At a press event on August 31, Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham played a video of a little girl singing a song he said she had requested for her funeral. He said the girl, named Fatima, had been killed four days before. 

“What sort of a world have we slid into? What sort of a human hole have we found ourselves in when children, beautiful angels like that, five or six years old, are making their own funeral arrangements?” Cunningham asked.

The occasion was the launch of a flotilla of about 20 boats carrying aid for Gazans from Barcelona, Spain. The boats are being joined by others and are now about halfway to their destination. 

In the past, individual aid boats have been stopped by the Israeli navy.
