Significantly, the condition of the Palestinian girl is decaying Abu Tilkh, due to the deprivation of the food and medicine needed to treat her rare disease (bubble skin) due to the siege, systematic starvation, and genocide that Israel has committed in the Gaza Strip for nearly two years.
On the children’s bed at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, she is lying (two and a half years) with her hatred that covered it with blisters and bleeding wounds, at a time when she needs essential treatments and ointments that are not available due to the Israeli siege.
For more than once, human rights and health institutions have warned of a significant deterioration in the humanitarian conditions of the Palestinians in Gaza due to the acute disability in medicines and medical supplies under the weight of the Israeli genocide and siege.
The bandages and gauze besieged her little body, to replace the games that are supposed to fill a girl in her life, in a scene that embodies the consequences of the Israeli genocide and siege that prevents the entry of medicines and medical supplies to the sector.
As for her continuous cry, she became a daily scene that squeezes the heart of her mother, who stands helpless in front of the pain of open wounds in the body of her little girl, without having a prayer in the hope of a treatment that saves a certain life.
The Gaza Strip is living one of the worst humanitarian crises in its history, as systematic starvation overlaps with genocide has been committed by Israel since October 7, 2023.
The health sector in Gaza is suffering almost complete collapse in diagnosis and treatment. Since the start of the extermination, the Israeli army has begun, destroyed or removed from the service a total of 38 hospitals.
According to Palestinian and international data, targeting hospitals and health facilities in Gaza exposed the lives of thousands of patients and wounded.
Siege
Speaking to Anatolia, Israa Abu Tilkh (the mother of Yaqin) explains that her daughter’s suffering was aggravated by the Israeli siege and the lack of basic medical supplies.
She adds that her daughter was born with a rare genetic disease known as the decay of the bullous skin, but the absence of treatment and ointments made her bleeding blisters more dangerous and pain.
And the dissolution of the bullous skin is a rare genetic disease that causes severe weakness in the skin and urges, and pimples are formed when exposed to any minor injury, such as friction, heat, or even scratching.
In some severe cases, complications extend to the internal organs, and pimples appear in the lining of the mouth or stomach, which makes the disease painful and threatens the lives of those with it, especially children.
The mother continues: Two years ago, I did not review the hospitals, and my daughter was adapting to her illness, but the conditions of the Israeli war and the displacement into a tent, and the lack of medical supplies, forced me to go to medical centers after her health condition worsened.
And it confirms that the famine caused by Israel has entered certainty in severe malnutrition, causing its blood weakness and its health deteriorating significantly.
On August 22, the global initiative for the integrated phased food classification of food security announced the state of famine in Gaza City (north), and expected its extension to the governorates of Deir Al -Balah (central) and Khan Yunis (south) by the end of September.
Dressings
The mother, Israa, explains that her daughter needs daily to change the bandages on her blood -filled blisters, while she is supposed to enjoy her childhood between games and dolls.
And remember that her weight decreased to only 7 kilograms, while the normal weight of a girl with her age should approximately 11 kilograms.
She hopes that she will treat her child outside the Gaza Strip due to the lack of capabilities and the Israeli siege that prevents the entry of the necessary medicines.
According to the government media office, more than 5,200 children need an urgent medical evacuation to save their lives.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, leaving 64,964 martyrs and 165 thousand and 312 Palestinians, most of them children and women, and famine killed 428 Palestinians, including 146 children.
