10-year-old Palestinian school girl murdered at her desk
In the early morning of a sunny day, the 10 -year-old year girl, Raghda al-Assar, left her house heading to school in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khanyounis. After less than hour, she was receiving medical treatment in emergency room of Nasser Hospital after having been struck with an Israeli gunshot in the head while she was in her classroom listening to her English teacher. Raghda died yesterday (Wednesday) of her critical wounds she sustained two weeks ago.
Gaza's tragic classroom casualties
During an English lesson girls in the class heard firing outside. They dived for cover, but when the shooting was over, they found their classmate Raghda al-Assar slumped over a desk up at the front, covered in blood. She had been shot through the head.
"We didn't hear the sound of the bullet when it came," says Alaa Assad, who was sitting a few places away from Raghda. Alaa says Raghda was one of the brightest pupils in the class.
