Forced to flee her home in northern Gaza, she now lives in a makeshift tent with her husband and five children, facing harsh heat and limited access to healthcare. Doctors say she urgently needs a blood transfusion to survive the pregnancy. According to the UN, 55,000 pregnant women in Gaza are now at risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and undernourished newborns due to extreme food shortages.
