"Gaza's Children Confront War Trauma Amid Rising Medical Crises and Sparse Moments of Joy"

TL;DR Summary
Gaza's hospitals are overwhelmed with children orphaned by Israeli airstrikes, including nine-year-old Razan Shabet, who is unaware that her parents were killed. Medical staff are struggling to manage the care and emotional needs of these children, often resorting to high doses of painkillers due to a lack of suitable medication. With homes destroyed, hospitals have become makeshift homes for these children, as the conflict continues to produce more casualties and trauma among the youngest residents of Gaza.
