Hassan* and his family live in a town that has experienced some of the worst destruction in Gaza. In the midst of the ongoing conflict, tragedy struck early. During the first week of fighting, Hassan's father was killed.

The devastation didn’t stop there—Hassan’s family lost their home to shelling, with the exception of one room that remained standing. It was in this room, surrounded by chaos and despair, that Hassan’s mother found herself desperately trying to protect her children from the unrelenting violence around them.

As the weeks went on, the family’s hardship only grew. Hassan, just a child, was severely injured during a bombing. With limited medical resources available and the constant threat of further attacks, Hassan’s family was left with few options for treatment. The local healthcare system was overwhelmed, and many hospitals were too damaged to provide care.

But there was hope. Hassan’s family made the difficult decision to seek help at al-Ahli Arab Hospital, a beacon of hope in the heart of Gaza. Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, supported by the ongoing efforts of Anglican Overseas Aid, has been a lifeline for many, providing life-saving care in the most dire of circumstances. For Hassan, it would be here that his life was saved.
