A Gaza mother, injured in an airstrike, is trapped with her daughters, unable to flee amid bombardment, famine, and lack of medical care.

Noor Abu Hassira, a mother injured in an Israeli airstrike, is trapped in a basement in Gaza City with her three daughters, describing their situation as “waiting to die.” She cannot flee due to severe injuries and the high cost of evacuation, fearing unsafe conditions in overcrowded displacement camps. With food and water scarce and a blockade in place, she endures constant bombardment and lacks medical care. Her husband is imprisoned, and over 65,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which many U.N. agencies consider the most reliable source. Famine was declared in the city in August, and despite Israeli evacuation warnings, she remains, unable to move.
