Worse Than Nuking: A Family's Tale of Survival

This short follows Fedaa, a pediatrician and mother of three living in Gaza, as she struggles to care for children in a hospital while shielding her own family through two relentless years of war. Through her eyes, we see the collapse of healthcare, the fragility of safety, and the courage required just to keep going.
