DUBAI, Nov 11, (Agencies): Awni Eldous, a 12-year-old Palestinian boy and dedicated video gamer, tragically lost his life in an Israeli airstrike in October. Since his passing, social media users have rallied to fulfill Eldous' wish of reaching 1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. Remarkably, the channel now boasts 1.26 million subscribers.

In August of the previous year, Eldous, an enthusiast of racing games, shoot 'em ups, and football sims, expressed gratitude to his fans for helping his channel reach 1,000 subscribers. In that video, he outlined his ultimate goal, stating, "The goal of this channel is to reach 100,000 subscribers. And 500,000, then 1 million, and — God willing — to reach 10 million subscribers with your support and love."

The comments section is filled with heartfelt messages of condolences, with many expressing regret for not helping Eldous achieve his goal while he was still alive.

It's important to note that over 10,000 people, including at least 4,000 children, have lost their lives in Gaza since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in early October.
