Resilience Amidst Tragedy: Visually Impaired Palestinian Boy Comforts Injured Child with Quranic Verses
Watan-In a poignant scene, a visually impaired Palestinian boy attempted to bring comfort to another child injured in an Israeli airstrike by reciting soothing Quranic verses.
The video footage captured the visually impaired child sitting beside the injured child, presumably inside a hospital. The injured child lay on the floor due to a lack of space in the hospital for a proper bed.
The visually impaired child began reciting verses from the Quran in a melodious voice, aiming to alleviate the suffering of the injured child who was deeply asleep, his body riddled with shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike
As the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip entered its 36th day, the Israeli occupation forces intensified their bombardment of hospitals. Meanwhile, the death toll surpassed the grim milestone of 11,000 martyrs.

A martyr every 10 minutes
In a harrowing account of the situation in Gaza, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, addressed the United Nations Security Council, stating that a child becomes a martyr in the Mediterranean every 10 minutes in the Gaza Strip.
He warned that there is no safe place and no one is secure in Gaza. He mentioned that half of Gaza‘s 36 hospitals and two-thirds of primary healthcare centers are not operational. The ones that are still functioning are overwhelmed far beyond their capacity, describing the healthcare system as on the brink of collapse.
Since October 7th, Israel has launched over 250 attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has justified its aggression by claiming that Hamas hides weapons in tunnels beneath hospitals.
