Maher's family is devastated by his death, recounting their attempts to secure medical help amidst the chaos and destruction of their neighborhood.

Struggling to care for her son, Yasmin often sells charity food to buy him powdered milk, while being repeatedly denied medical assistance for his oxygen needs.

Omar, born with two holes in his heart, requires supplemental oxygen and surgery, which are unavailable due to the ongoing siege and bombardment.

Yasmin al-Masri has not seen her husband Ahmed since Israeli forces raided northern Gaza on October 5, 2024, and kidnapped him.

During the raid, Yasmin and her seven-month-old son Omar were forced to flee under heavy bombardment and threats from Israeli troops.

As they fled, Israeli drones ordered civilians to evacuate south, separating men from their families at gunpoint, leaving Yasmin terrified for her husband and child.

Yasmin walked 10 kilometers with Omar, who has serious health issues, without food, water, or belongings, and sought refuge in a classroom at an UNRWA school in Gaza City.

Many families remain trapped without food, humanitarian aid, or medical care, with over 100,000 people in northern Gaza affected.

The Israeli military has been accused of mass civilian killings and preventing medical aid and rescue operations in northern Gaza since the escalation of violence.

Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for Palestinian Civil Defense, reported that rescue teams have been unable to operate since October 23, 2024, after Israeli forces attacked and seized their equipment.

In Gaza City, 11-year-old Maher al-Shorafa was shot by a quadcopter while playing football, later dying due to lack of medical resources and care.

Maher's uncle expressed that the family is in shock, mourning the loss of a child who had dreams of becoming a football player, emphasizing the senselessness of his death.
