Inside a worn tent on the outskirts of one of the displacement camps in the city of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, the Palestinian girl, Lana Al -Sharif, sits clinging to the rest of her childhood after 19 months of the genocide war committed by Israel, during which she lived harsh shocks and lost most of her rights.
The pink shirt that the honorable pink shirt and printed the cartoon character of Mickey Mouse, did not succeed in adding a little joy to her features, which seemed to be saddened after her body was moderated with white bends similar to vitiligo, according to the appreciation of doctors in Gaza.
And through a small mirror, the child is contemplated because of her shape that was changed by the continuous Israeli genocide, as she invaded her hair, the white gray hair, and she did not exceed her ten years due to her exposure to extreme fear.
She says to Anatolia with a voice of sadness: “I was a sweet before the war,” referring to her psychological state affected by this disease, which did not respond to Gaza, expressing her hope to travel abroad to restore her childish features, and doctors also assured her of her need.
Last week, World Health Organization spokeswoman Margaret Harris, in statements conveyed by a statement to UNRWA, said that more than 10 thousand and 500 patients in Gaza need an urgent medical evacuation, including 4 thousand children, the conversion of the continuous Israeli genocide without leaving the Strip.
Israel continues a widespread extermination war against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023, including killing, destruction, starvation and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders to the International Court of Justice to stop it.
The US -backed war left more than 172,000 dead and wounded by the Palestinians, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
Gradual injury
On her injury, the girl Lana says that these spots began to gradually appear on her body a year and a half ago when Israeli fighters bombed a house next to her home in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
She added that two days after the shelling, the first two spots appeared in her face after she was subjected to a state of great fear due to the Israeli bombing.
Later, the girl was subjected to another panic that caused the white spots to increase her body and then spread in light of her condition that she did not respond to the medicines that doctors described.
Psychological condition
This war was not only left scars on the body of the girl and her face, but also led her to live in a tent that lacks the lowest elements of life amid deteriorating human conditions.
She sits inside the tent, Al Sharif says that she is beautiful and loves to draw, drawing trees and flowers on paper despite the difficult circumstances they are going through.
She expressed her hope to return home and end the extermination war soon, as well as her recovery from this disease, which changed its beautiful features.
She referred to her wish to travel in order to receive the appropriate treatment that was deprived of it in Gaza as a result of the destruction of Israel to hospitals and the closure of the crossings and the prevention of the entry of medicines, supplies and medical devices.
Vitiligo
In turn, Khalil Al -Sharif, the father of the girl, says that this disease began with Lana as a result of her panic after an Israeli bombing adjacent to their home in the city of Rafah a year and a half ago.
And he continued to Anatolia: After two days of the shelling, two oval spots appeared, and then the disease spread.
He explained that the doctors suggested that these stains were caused by the child’s injury to vitiligo, but the symptoms do not coincide with that, without indicating other health symptoms.
He stated that the girl did not respond to medicines and treatments in Gaza, pointing out that, according to the doctors, she suffers from a rare condition that requires travel for treatment abroad.
Suffering a vehicle
Regarding the health status of the child, Al -Sharif says that Lana suffers from a meeting of several factors, including her difficult psychological situation as a result of this disease in addition to the lack of treatment and its exposure to malnutrition due to the famine spread in the sector.
He adds that Lana, after she was full of life and vitality before the war, today has become an introverted girl who refuses to talk to others.
Besides, the child Lana was affected by the difficult life in the displacement tents, as most of her time passes between the queues of water or free meals from the taca, he said.
He stressed that these harsh conditions with the malnutrition that they are going through, like all the residents of the sector, doubled the wasting state that it suffers, as well as its psychological status due to illness and war.
