In the midst of turmoil, stories of resilience shine the brightest. Early November saw the power cut at Al Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip after fuel supplies ran dry. This left many premature babies without the warmth and safety of their incubators, prompting a daring evacuation mission.
On November 19, a group of 36 infants, all born during this intense period of conflict, were transferred to Al-Helal Al-Emarati Maternity Hospital in Tel Al-Sultan, Gaza. The journey was fraught with challenges, and tragically, five of these tiny fighters didn't survive the ordeal.
The following day, November 20, hope flickered as 28 of the 31 surviving infants were sent to Egypt for continued care. Three little ones, too fragile to move, remained at Al-Helal Al-Emarati Maternity Hospital. Among them is a baby girl whose family hasn't been found yet. The compassionate doctors have named her Malak, meaning \"angel\" in Arabic. 🌺
Malak's story is nothing short of a miracle. She was discovered on November 16, just a day after a devastating attack on the Sabra Mosque that claimed at least 50 lives and injured many more. Despite being only a day or two old, Malak was found completely unharmed amidst the chaos. Her survival is a beacon of hope, a reminder of innocence persevering even in the darkest times.
As the conflict continues to impact countless lives, the journey of these infants symbolizes both the fragility and strength of life. Their stories resonate with young people around the world who yearn for peace and a brighter future. ✨
