In Gaza's Rimal neighborhood, a young girl named Maryam Ahmed Ghanem miraculously survived an Israeli airstrike that engulfed her apartment building in flames. The attack claimed the life of her mother, leaving Maryam orphaned following the earlier loss of her father at the start of the war. Bystanders, led by Ali Al-Jaafarawi, rushed to the scene after hearing her cries and managed to pull her from the wreckage. While she survived the fire, she sustained severe burns and injuries. Maryam’s plight highlights the harrowing reality for children in Gaza, who face both physical trauma and the devastating loss of their entire families.
