More than 13,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Amr Abdallah was one of them.

On the morning Amr Abdallah was killed, he woke before dawn to say his Ramadan prayers with his father, mother, two younger brothers and aunt, in an open field in southern Gaza.
“It is You we worship and You we ask for help,” they prayed. “Guide us to the straight path -- the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked Your anger or of those who are astray.”
It was dark. They made their way back to their tents. Their old life was gone: their village, Al-Qarara, their house -- built with the money Amr’s father saved during the 30 years he worked in the Persian Gulf -- their orchards, their school, the local mosque and the town’s cultural museum with artifacts dating from 4,000 B.C.
