Mother of days-old newborn discusses struggle in Gaza
A mother of four in Gaza told ABC News she is worried about getting vaccinations for her days-old newborn and keeping her children warm and fed.
"I'm afraid for him because there is no warmth, no vaccinations, and no good health supplies," Maha al Sharbsy, 32, said of her fourth child, Mohammed, who was born on Saturday. "The child has started to show signs of jaundice, and his condition is unstable."
Al Sharbsy said she and her children evacuated northern Gaza days after the war started following "intense" bombings. Now in southern Gaza, she said her children cannot sleep "because there are no winter clothes and no food," and she doesn't have money to buy food.
"I want the children to live in peace, cleanliness, and good health conditions. At the very least, for the sake of the children," she said. "We, the adults, are not the issue; the children are what matter."
Her 9-year-old son, Riad, told ABC News he misses his room and toys and is worried for his family.
"I'm afraid of the rockets, I'm afraid of people getting injured and dying, and I'm afraid of planes bombing our homes," he said.
