From personal account of Soraya Ali--Save the Children's media head--
Of course, our Palestinian colleagues, like Hawa, have long been tirelessly serving their communities, even amidst personal tragedy.
Most of our staff have been forcibly displaced, many have lost close relatives, and all have been impacted by the war. Sameh Ewida, a longstanding member of the Gaza office, was killed along with his entire family by an Israeli airstrike in December.
The brutal war in Gaza has killed over 33,000 people including at least 13,900 children, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Israeli airstrikes have killed doctors, nurses, teachers and humanitarian workers.
All at a time when needs have never been higher.
