A 22-year-old Palestinian mother, Nancy Abu Matroud, fights to save her two-year-old daughter Etra who has cancer, after losing three other children during Gaza's war. With the children's hospital closed due to Israeli military operations, the family faces critical healthcare shortages in a region where only 14 of 35 hospitals remain partially functional, amid widespread displacement and malnutrition affecting Gaza's 2.2 million residents.
