CAIRO/GAZA, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Bissan was born because of an airstrike.
Two weeks into the war in Gaza in October 2023, an Israeli attack ripped through her family’s home in Beit Lahiya near the Israeli border, killing a sister she never got to meet. The blast seriously injured her pregnant mother, who was forced to deliver Bissan six weeks early to save both their lives.
