Johan-Matthias Sommarstrom, a Swedish Radio Gaza correspondent, said that it was then he has finished his day of reporting in Gaza City when a boy approached him outside the hotel premises on Thursday.
"I am a journalist," the little kid said.
"For me the picture is a powerful example of children's strong will to survive. He has seen us journalists go in and out of the hotel, he has seen that we survive. I think that in his pretending play he wants to be like us, someone who survives." -Sommarström
This young boy wears his home-made flak jacket and Johan lend his helmet to him so that he will looks like a real journalist. He will be, someday.
