In the heart of conflict-ridden Gaza, hospitals are crumbling under the weight of severe fuel shortages, leaving doctors scrambling to save lives. As the violence continues, the medical community grapples with placing multiple premature infants in single incubators to combat the life-threatening conditions.

Here, newborns face peril not from missiles, but from the crippling blockade that suffocates medical facilities of essential fuel.
