16 of 30  

Martyr. Mohammed was 15. After the prayer in the mosque in Ramallah, Mohammed is carried out with the Koran on his chest. His grandmother and sister gives him their last goodbye before the procession takes him to his final resting place. Mohammed's greatest wish has come true: He died as a martyr during the Ramadan in the fight against the Israeli occupation. He is one of 70 boys who have been killed during the last three month.
