He was just a little child who knew nothing of life but play and joy, running and frolicking like any child his age. But on Wednesday morning, his laughter suddenly disappeared from the street, and his voice was no longer heard.

Fate had hidden death for the two-year-old while he was playing, as he was struck by a water tanker in one of the eastern districts of the capital, Amman, becoming yet another victim added to the list of lives lost in traffic accidents that trouble Jordanians.

A Painful Memory Today, his memory is a painful one for everyone who knew him or heard about the incident—a short story of innocence lost too soon, a brief life left unfinished, yet leaving a deep mark on the hearts of many, reminding everyone of how fragile life is and the importance of keeping a vigilant eye on our little ones.

Social media in Jordan was flooded with the heartbreaking news, accompanied by calls for parents to watch over their children and for drivers to exercise extra caution on the roads.
