A video of Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif’s daughter has resurfaced following his assassination by Israeli forces.

The clip, which had been posted on al-Sharif’s X account on June 16, shows four-year-old Sham speaking from the northern Gaza Strip and is accompanied by the caption: “My little Sham Anas Al-Sharif’s message to the world, after 620 days of the war of extermination in Gaza: How can this small heart bear these heavy burdens?! Our children are the fruits of pain ripened by the war!”.

In the video, the girl says: “I am the child Sham Anas al-Sharif from the northern Gaza Strip. I am four years old. I have lived through the war.

“The occupation bombed us and bombed the houses. Netanyahu doesn’t want to stop the war. I wish I could go back to our home in Jabalia.

“The occupation bombed our house and killed my grandfather [Sidou]. I want to live like the children of the world. The occupation keeps bombing us.

“We want the war to end because we are tired. We want food. We want chicken. We want meat. We want water. We want everything. I am scared for my dad because of the bombing. We want the war to stop. We call on the world. End the war.”
