TL;DR Summary

The Gaza Strip is witnessing a heartbreaking rise in the number of orphans due to the ongoing conflict. Many children are being labeled as "wounded child, no surviving family" (WCNSF) as they lose their parents, siblings, and grandparents in the violence. The story highlights the experiences of three-year-old Ahmed Shabat, two-year-old Muna Alwan, and 11-year-old Dunya Abu Mehsen, who have all been left orphaned and injured. The situation is further exacerbated by the lack of adequate medical care and the challenges in identifying and registering orphaned children.
