Gaza woman faces long recovery after losing eye and daughter

Najwa Abu Atiwi, 42, awoke from a coma on October 11, 2024, after a devastating Israeli air strike in Nuseirat, Gaza, that resulted in severe facial injuries and the loss of one eye. Unaware for weeks, she later learned that her daughter, Hajar, was killed in the attack just days before her sixth birthday. Najwa faces a lengthy recovery with multiple surgeries needed, but a lack of medical resources in Gaza complicates her treatment, as many patients require extensive rehabilitation from similar injuries.
