A grandmother and her 5-year-old grandson burned to death in a Gaza City displacement camp when their tent caught fire on Thursday night, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza. Amal Abu al-Khair was one of hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians enduring cold winter weather in makeshift housing.

Her son Muhammad was cooking dinner when a fire broke out in their nylon tent at the Yarmouk displacement camp. Strong winter winds fuelled the flames and made it impossible to control the blaze. "The tent served as both living and cooking space, with limited room and flammable materials like plastic utensils inside," said Mona Abu al-Khair, a relative of the two victims.

"While Muhammad was cooking, the hot cooking oil ignited and spread rapidly," she went on.

Muhammad obviously believed these followers should die.

Could have been prevented if the PLO/HAMAS People would seek peace instead of the destruction of the Jewish people. Blame HAMAS/Islamic Jihad/PLO/PFLP and tens of other terror organizations who feed off the dead PALEOstinians.

Did fuel explode and burn them directly? It doesn’t look like a big enough area to be lost or trapped inside.

I would feel sympathy, but then I remembered Pali children marching around with toy suicide belts
and AK-47s. I guess Junior got found his trip to Allah, one way or the other, sooner than later.

In other words, Muhammad’s mother and his own son were killed when the nylon tent he was cooking their dinner in caught fire.

Yeah, the article reads like they were stranded in the Sierras in the middle of a blizzard. Wonder if they were cooking uncle Ali?

"The tent served as both living and cooking space,..."

Even the dumbest camper knows... You don't light a fire 'in' the tent. D-oh! How stupid are these squatters?

Correct. Because in the Muslim way of “thinking” it would not have happened if Allah hadn’t allowed/willed it to happen.

islam sucks for its adherents.

I know of no modern successful muslim country that doesn’t float on a sea of oil.
