"Our feelings are indescribable. This is the most important moment in our lives, especially since she is my first daughter, Samer Lulu, the father of Kinda Lulu, told Al Jazeera. But our feelings are mixed with pain because of the reality we live in a difficult reality, a reality with an uncertain future."
"In 2023, the babies were moved from al-Shifa to southern Gaza before being evacuated to Egypt for life-saving treatment. Inside Gaza's hospitals, doctors struggled to keep them alive under Israel's siege."
"There were severe shortages in medicine, like antibiotics, solutions, and food, which were banned by Israel from reaching al-Shifa medical complex, said Mohammad Zaqout, a doctor at Emirati Hospital."
Eight Palestinian toddlers, evacuated as premature babies from al-Shifa Hospital during the Israeli assault on Gaza, have returned home after more than two years. The reunion occurred in Rafah, where families gathered amidst the ongoing conflict that has claimed over 72,200 lives since October 2023. The Palestine Red Crescent Society facilitated the return, with the toddlers receiving treatment outside Gaza. Parents expressed mixed emotions of joy and pain, hoping for a safe future for their children amidst the harsh realities of war.
