Six-year-old Habiba Al-Askari from Gaza was once a playful, energetic child like any other. But war, blockade, and disease have stolen that from her. Today, her family stands on the edge of despair as doctors deliver a devastating verdict: to save her life, both arms and a leg must be amputated.<\/p>\n<h3>A Preventable Tragedy<\/h3>\n<p>Habiba suffers from a rare genetic disorder, Protein C deficiency, which causes excessive blood clotting. In most parts of the world, this condition is treatable. But in Gaza, where medicine is scarce and hospitals are barely functioning, it becomes a slow death sentence. Despite desperate pleas for help, she could not leave the besieged enclave in time. By the time she arrived in Jordan, the infection had spread beyond control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should never have happened,\u201d says her uncle, Muath Mohammed, his voice heavy with grief. \u201cIf Habiba had received treatment earlier, she wouldn\u2019t have needed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/14\/the-human-cost-of-war-gazas-rising-limb-amputations-amid-ongoing-israeli-attacks\/\">amputation<\/a>.

With her father abducted by Israeli forces in 2024, her mother struggled alone to find treatment. As her condition worsened, the family desperately sought a way out.<\/p>\n<p>Gaza\u2019s hospitals were on the brink of collapse\u2014lacking medicine, equipment, and staff\u2014while international organizations tried, unsuccessfully, to secure her evacuation. Israeli authorities delayed permits, and by the time approval came, it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery minute that passed took another piece of her body,\u201d her uncle says. \u201cGaza gave her nothing but pain.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A Heartbreaking but Necessary Decision<\/h3>\n<p>By the time she reached Jordan, doctors fought hard to save her limbs, but gangrene had already spread. There was no other option\u2014amputation was the only way to prevent her death.<\/p>\n<p>Her doctor in Amman laments, \u201cWe could have saved her if she had arrived just weeks earlier. But she came too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, her mother stands beside her hospital bed, holding back tears as she tells her daughter stories\u2014of hope, of strength, of a future where she will overcome this nightmare.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;We Don&#8217;t Want More Habibas&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Habiba is not alone. According to the United Nations, she is just one of 2,500 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2023\/11\/14\/desperate-plea-for-help-palestinian-child-faces-leg-amputation-urges-egyptians-for-treatment-video\/\">children<\/a> in Gaza desperately in need of medical evacuation. While the world discusses ceasefires and aid shipments, thousands of children are left waiting for the same cruel fate\u2014simply because they were born in Gaza, where Israel, backed by the United States, continues its relentless oppression.<\/p>\n<p>Her uncle makes a plea: \u201cHabiba lost her limbs, but we don\u2019t want to lose anyone else. These are not just numbers; these are lives. This suffering is preventable.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6116\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6116\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6116 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Israeli war on Gaza strip\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war crimes in Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As Habiba embarks on the painful journey of adjusting to her new reality, her story remains a testament to an injustice that must not be ignored.
