Raseel al-Balawi, a six-year-old girl, has required over twenty surgical procedures to manage persistent infections resulting from injuries sustained during an air strike in late July. According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred when an Israeli helicopter targeted her tent located in the al-Mawasi camp. In response to inquiries regarding the event, the Israeli military stated it possesses no documentation of the strike while expressing regret for any civilian casualties. This case highlights the severe medical difficulties faced by children in Gaza, where ongoing conflict and the collapse of essential infrastructure continue to hinder healthcare efforts. A documentary produced by BBC Eye Investigations provides further insight into the daily struggles of minors living through the current humanitarian crisis in the region.
