Palestinian Girl Killed by Israeli Drone While Carrying Water

The murder of 11-year-old Amna al-Mufti took place on the afternoon of 21 December 2024 in Jabalia, northern Gaza, right outside the southern gate of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Her mother and 8-year-old brother, Baraa, were killed on May 17, 2025, in an airstrike on a house where they were sheltering in the Tal al-Zaatar neighborhood in Jabalia Camp.

Why? Because Israel can, and because its goal in the “final solution” is the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza, so they can occupy yet more land as part of the Greater Israel project.

From Pulitzer Prize winner, Mosab Abu Toha, who spoke to Amna al-Mufti’s father about the murder of his daughter:

“I know you prefer desalinated water to tap water, and I will get you more.”

These were the final words of 11-year-old Amna to her father Ashraf al-Mufti, before an Israeli drone missile killed her.

Ashraf was lying on his bed, recovering from severe injuries that he sustained when a missile hit a house adjacent to his sister’s, with whom he was staying after his own house was destroyed months before.

Once Ashraf was discharged from the hospital, friends who lived meters away from the Kamal Odwan Hospital offered to let him and his family stay with them.

On Dec. 21, 2024, at around 1:30 pm, Amna stepped out for the final time. She walked the short distance to the hospital, still powered by a generator and functioning desalination unit, to refill her water container. Just as she left, a missile struck, obliterating both her and the container she had strained to carry. “She loved to fill her container with water.

She loved to help the family, especially after I was wounded,” Ashraf told me, his voice heavy with sorrow.

Her name was Amna Ashraf Abdullah Al-Mufti—a Palestinian child, thirsty, hungry, terrified, and all alone.

She only wished for a sip of water, but they turned her into a lump of coal.
Little Amna Al-Mufti had stepped out to fetch some water for herself and her family at the gate of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. But the occupiers had another plan. They fired a missile at her, burning her until nothing remained but ashes.


She carried no weapon.
Only a bottle of water.
A thirsty child, killed while searching for just a handful of life…


Cursed be the world—how vile its silence, how deep its betrayal.

From Hani Almadhoun, Senior Director of Philanthropy at UNRWA USA: A drone killed her — and yes, AI likely helped. In the video, a Palestinian girl fills her container with water and walks back toward her shelter. But the drone had other plans: it marked her as a target. Don’t hold your breath for an IDF statement — the spin will come, polished so news producers keep their shows and avoid being called names. But the truth is merciless: this child is gone forever, and no story-shaping will bring her back. Rest in peace, little one. The living are still searching for ours.

Instead of living a carefree life, as children should, going to school, playing with friends, and enjoying time with her family, Amna was trying to survive by getting water. God have mercy on her soul.

Israel, Thy name is Cruelty. The world will neither forgive nor forget your genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. There is no redemption for you. The days of reckoning, retribution, and revenge are coming.

The father of little Amna Al-Mufti watches on his phone the final moments of his daughter before she was directly targeted by an airstrike. His heartbroken words: “This is Amina.. this is Bara’a… and this is their mother… the most beautiful flowers of my life… they were taken from me.”
