Quakers around the world are mourning the death of a young activist killed in Gaza on 20 July.

Abdullah Mansour Abu Amara was a member of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)’s ‘Palestinian Youth: Together for Change’ group in Gaza.

He was among the sixty-six Palestinians killed during fierce attacks on Shishaiyeh neighbourhood last Sunday. Abdullah was a pacifist who hoped to become a lawyer.
