Fadia Ali Al Doukhi
When the shelling started and we knew that Israel had surrounded the camp, my father told us to run away. We asked him to come with us, but he refused because he wanted to protect the house. We ran away, leaving him in the house. Later, we found out that a massacre had taken place. We found out that my father was dead and we saw his picture in the newspaper. His foot had been cut off. Our neighbour, who lived in the house where my father had sheltered, told us how they killed him.
Mrs Al Doukhi, who was 11 years old at the time, lost her father.
