A firsthand account from Gaza reveals the harrowing reality of children caught in conflict and the extraordinary efforts of healthcare workers to save lives. The author argues that global inaction in the face of such suffering exposes a chilling moral failure—what we’re willing to tolerate as "normal."

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another headline about distant violence—it’s a visceral reminder that behind casualty numbers are real kids and medics working miracles in hellish conditions. The piece challenges readers to ask: If we stay silent, what does that say about us? It’s a call to pay attention when empathy feels exhausting.
