“There’s an acronym that is unique to Gaza strip and it’s WCNSF: Wounded
Child No Surviving Family”
Dr Tanya Haj-
Hassan, a pediatric intensive care
doctor for Doctors Without Borders appeared on BBC News to discuss the dire conditions in Gaza
This is a new acronym coined by doctors in Gaza.
Children make up a significant number of the wounded people brought to hospitals across Gaza. In many of these cases, their families are no more.
And in many other cases, children themselves do not survive. According to the latest numbers shared by Gaza's Ministry of health, more than 3500 children were killed in the first 25 days of
Israel's bombardent and ground operation. That's about
40% of the total death toll.
