Abandoned in the hospital corridor, she quietly whispers mama, mama, mama. Her family members remain at home stranded due to the heavy military bombardment of the area. Account from doctors and surgeons working in Al Shifa hospital in Gaza during Operation Lead Cast, 2009

31 "People see no reason for optimism - they are trapped in a large prison. There is no horizon, no political solutions. The people anticipate a new military assault, it is always on their minds. There are constant reminders of provocation, through drones, sirens, destroyed buildings... It creates high levels of anxiety in everyone. Nothing will help, except ending the blockade and giving dignity back to the people."
