Ali was a young man, brother of 9 siblings (3 boys and 6 girls). He was still in Shhour’s public secondary school when he went missing. During his days off and vacations, Ali used to work in construction and help his family with their chores. He was a very energetic and motivated young man. Ali was very sociable and he used to love mingling with people from different ages. He was very helpful and was always there for whomever needed him, even with strangers on the street. What distinguished Ali from boys his age is that he was very trustworthy, and his teachers loved him. Ali loved to spend time with his friends next to the river where they would fish and he loved walking in the forest to hunt birds. He bonded with his family and siblings a lot and he loved to spend time with them. He used to help his sister Maryam with her work. .
