Muhammad al-Lahham had two new sons.
To celebrate the birth of Ahmad and Anwar, as the twins had been named, Muhammad arranged a party on 6 March.
Three cakes were made specially for the occasion. Juice and nuts were served.
The older children at the party danced and sang. And the family’s home was decorated with balloons.
After the festivities wrapped up around midnight, Muhammad, 27, went to check on the family’s fishing boat with his brother Zakaria and their nephew Yahia. They always checked that their nets were in good condition and the boat’s engine was functioning properly a few hours before setting out to sea.
