What happened to nine-year-old Ramas during the Israeli airstrike in Gaza?
Nine-year-old Ramas lost her entire family—parents, sister, and two brothers—when an Israeli airstrike hit her grandfather's home in the Al Zaytun neighborhood of southern Gaza. The attack occurred in two phases: the first missile caused burns and injuries to Ramas, while the second claimed the lives of all her family members. Miraculously, Ramas survived after remaining unconscious under the debris for six days. She is now the sole survivor of her immediate family, with her aunt becoming her only remaining relative. This devastating experience reflects the broader crisis of orphaned children in Gaza who face immense trauma and loss due to ongoing violence.
