Hyra Rabbat was born on Christmas day, 2003, in Jerusalem. When she was three years old, her parents were caught in crossfire in the outskirts of the city.
Since her parents’ death, she lives in a refugee camp with her older brother, Daniel, who has recently entered the Mossad.
At the refugee camp, she is learning English because, up to now she only spoke Yiddish, due to her family.
Seven years old are known to be happy and careless, but Hyra is growing up in the midst of a raging war and needs to strive for survival every day, so she is much more sullen than the average kid of her age. However, she dreams, like any other child: as she needs to deal with sickness and warlike injuries at the camp, she dreams of being a doctor in the USA and owing her own place. But her wildest dream is to have a yellow bicycle and a pair of pink heels.
Hyra attends to school at the refugee camp everyday and likes playing with bullet’s shelves and old guns at the junkyard near the camp, were this picture was taken.
Being a Jew means that you need to go regularly to the synagogue and Hyra goes there every day, to pray for a better life.The camp’s staff told us that if Hyra keeps on studying, she will go to college and (who knows) maybe she will have a better life...
