Amid increasing escalation, Gaza's hospitals are inundated with burn victims suffering due to a crippling blockade. The blockade, which began in March, restricts necessary supplies like medicine and food, crucial for recovery.

Children like 7-year-old Hamza Abu Shabab and 4-year-old Layan Ibrahim Sahloul bear the brunt of this crisis, facing infected wounds and malnutrition.

Health professionals and rights groups warn this blockade is a potential war crime. As Israel aims to pressure Hamas under military campaigns, the humanitarian conditions remain dire, with hospitals stretched beyond limits.
