Thirteen-year-oldhad spent most of his life shuffling between hospitals across Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Israel.
Born without a lung, he had struggled to breathe. Doctors had predicted he would need a transplant if he were to reach adulthood. But the last 15 months of war in Gaza had made that impossible.
When the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on Sunday, Zakariya was ecstatic.
“Mom, now we can go look for my lungs!” his mother recalled him saying.
Less than 24 hours later, Zakariya was shot dead.
Doctors at Nasser Hospital say an Israeli sniper fired the fatal shot in the southern city of Rafah on Monday. Zakariya’s family told CNN he had been looking for wood to use for cooking and heating.
