Karam al-Ghussain, 9, and Lulu, 10, little brother and big sister, waiting for water when an Israeli strike hit the water distribution

Karam al-Ghussain, 9, and Lulu, 10, brother and sister, were waiting beside a water distribution station, holding jerry cans and buckets, when it was bombed on Saturday, July 13.

The Guardian reported:
Lulu’s real name was Lana but her parents rarely used it because her nickname, which means pearl, captured the gentle shine she brought to family life. “She had such a joyful personality, and a heart full of kindness,” Heba (her mother) said.

Karam was smart, always top of his class until Israeli attacks shut down Gaza’s schools, generous and mature beyond his years. His dad, Ashraf al-Ghussain, called him “abu sharik” or “my partner”, because he seemed “like a man in spirit”.

But he was also enough of a child to be obsessed by a remote-controlled car that he begged his mother to buy. She regrets telling him they needed to save money for food. “I wish I had spent everything I had to buy it for him so he could have played with it before he died.”
