‘Please don’t cry for me’: Gaza family discovers will of child killed in Israeli bombing

The family of 10-year-old Rasha Al-Ar’eer have found her last will written in a note after she and her 11-year-old brother Ahmad were killed in an Israeli air strike in northern Gaza.

“My will if I am martyred … please do not cry for me, because it just hurts to see you in tears. I want my clothes to be given to those in need, and my accessories, bead boxes, allowance, books, notebooks, and toys to be shared with my cousins. Please do not shout at my brother Ahmad. I do hope you honor my will,” she wrote.

The Palestinian foreign ministry said the two siblings had survived an Israeli air strike on their home just three months earlier.
