Tariq Abu al-Shaer, 5, dreamed of becoming a pediatrician

Tariq Abu al-Shaer is one of the 18,500 children (under 18) on the list of children killed in Gaza published by the Washington Post.

The Post was able to get photos and descriptions of some of the children from family members. Tariq was one.

Unlike many children, Tariq would ask his mother to help him get ready quickly so he could hurry to school. He owned a bicycle and dreamed of becoming a pediatrician.

Last September, an airstrike killed Tariq, his brother Sannd who was just 70 days old, and his 8-year-old brother Abdul.
