"“I want to go to my mom,” three-year-old Maryam Ahmed Ghanem says from her hospital bed, pointing to her bandaged hand. Her grandfather explains what happened. Maryam and her mother lived in a single room inside an apartment in Gaza City, and at around 4am on Wednesday, the Israeli occupation struck that room. Her mother, Reem, was killed, burned in front of her daughter. Maryam was pulled out alive with burns her grandfather says are second- and third-degree. Her father was killed early in the genocide, before she was even born, while she was still in her mother’s womb. “She grew up in her mother’s arms,” he says. “What did she, her mother or all these children do wrong?” He says the bombing eased for a while after the ceasefire, but the Israeli occupation army still assassinates and bombs, the siege still holds, and prices are still out of reach. “So many children, so many women, so many people died for nothing.” Maryam has now lost both her parents before turning four. @AlwtanTv" - Source
