Maria, mother of seven, shot while waiting for food

Maria, a 40-year-old mother of seven, was killed last July by a bullet to her neck as she tried get food to feed her family at an Israeli-sponsored aid site in Rafah.

Her sister, Khola Sheikh Alaid, described a scene of chaos when Israeli troops started shooting at women waiting for food. She and Maria were separated in the confusion. She learned later that Maria had been killed. Maria’s husband was killed earlier in the war. Their children now live with their aunt.
