I would rather be dead than without my mother and father, Amir - TopicsExpress



          

I would rather be dead than without my mother and father, Amir told AFP, saying he would never forget that fateful moment on the second day of the war when they were killed. My parents were drinking their coffee in the evening after breaking the (Ramadan) fast, when a bomb fell onto our home, he said, recalling how an Israeli air strike hit their home in northern Gaza. I saw them lying on the ground and knew immediately they were dead, said Amir, the oldest of the five children. His sister Lamis, just four-months-old, is the youngest. Amirs six-year-old brother Nur had laid motionless, his face covered in blood. Two paramedics took him, Amir recalled, watching Nur who is now sitting safely next to him. Ill look after my brothers and sisters. But Im scared, because my parents are no longer here to help me.
