Ten-year-old Rafeef Murshed Abu Dayer was killed by shrapnel, a week before her birthday, while having lunch in a garden outside her family's home.
She was participating in the Norwegian Refugee Council's psycho-social programme aimed at helping children deal with trauma.
"Rafeef Abu Dayer, 10, liked to draw. She had sketched one of the high-rise buildings that an Israeli airstrike destroyed in Gaza City two days earlier and had started to color in her drawing when her mother called her for lunch.
"You can go back to drawing after you eat," her mother said.
The girl sat down for lunch with 13 relatives in a private residential garden. Minutes later, Israel attacked a building nearby, an uncle said. Shrapnel and rubble struck Rafeef. She and another uncle were killed."
