Sabreen Jouda was born seconds after an Israeli airstrike killed her family in Rafah, Gaza. Her father, mother, and 4-year-old sister died in the attack. Emergency responders, discovering that her mother was 30 weeks pregnant, performed an emergency cesarean section to save Sabreen. Initially struggling to survive, Sabreen is now in a neonatal intensive care unit but remains at risk. Her paternal grandmother, Ahalam al-Kurdi, vowed to care for her, expressing profound grief and love. The conflict has claimed over 34,000 Palestinian lives, predominantly women and children. Another airstrike in Rafah killed 19 more, including 17 children. Survivors buried their dead amidst the ongoing devastation.
