Nada Almadhoun, an intern in the obstetrics emergency department of a Gaza City hospital, describes one shift

Excerpt:

“At 6am, as dawn breaks on the morning of my shift, we welcome a new baby born to a mother from the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza, an area surrounded by Israeli soldiers and tanks. As the first rays of sunlight pierce the delivery room, the mother cries happy tears, her face flushed as she hugs her baby girl.”
