TL;DR Summary

In the midst of the Israel-Hamas war, a midwife named Samah Qeshta in Gaza's Nasser Hospital faces shortages of supplies and fears for the safety of her newborn daughter. The war has resulted in a blockade, restricting imports of fuel, food, and electricity to Gaza's population of 2.3 million. The hospital is overwhelmed with casualties, and the morgue struggles to cope with the influx of bodies. The dire situation has led to a health crisis for pregnant women, with an increase in miscarriages and stillbirths. The people of Gaza are trapped, with limited access to basic necessities and no means of escape.
