Transcribed from the clipping

“JENIN REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank — Sadeel Naghniyeh, 15, was at home when the Israeli raid began… Her father, Ghassan Naghniyeh, 46, said she had gone up to the roof with her cousins to watch… She was shot in the head… The Israeli military said it was examining the incident… ‘She was not a fighter, she was a child,’ said her uncle, Nidal Naghniyeh… Shawan Jabarin, director of the Palestinian rights group Al Haq, said… Mohammed Shehata of the Freedom Theater in the camp said children in Jenin have known nothing else… ‘Sadeel had nothing else around her but death and destruction,’ he said. ‘So what does she think about? What does she dream of? Death.’”

A whole American wire feature about one fifteen-year-old Palestinian girl, with her name in the headline, her father named, her uncle named, and two Palestinians from the camp explaining what it is like there. It is one of very few in this archive.
