TL;DR Summary

Amid the devastating war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, 20-month-old Amir Taha has become an orphan after losing his parents and two siblings in an Israeli strike. With over 18,000 people killed in Gaza, Amir's aunt cares for him while he recovers from his physical wounds at a field hospital set up by the United Arab Emirates. The hospital, a rare functioning facility in the overwhelmed region, treats severe cases and witnesses the heartbreaking consequences of war on innocent children. The local health system is falling apart, leading to infectious diseases and other problems. Despite the constant airstrikes, the hospital staff remains dedicated to saving lives, even as they hear at least 20 strikes a day. The war has left Gaza in ruins, with most of its 2 million residents forced from their homes, and many victims feel abandoned by the world.
