"My daughter suddenly choked in my hands, Samar told Al Jazeera Arabic. Her colour turned blue, her eyes rolled back, and she lost all movement. Doctors later diagnosed Nour with movement paralysis caused by the inhalation of toxic gases."
"As the siege intensified, Samar managed to evacuate Nour just before the hospital was bombed. She did not know then that her daughter would be the sole survivor of the deadly attack on al-Nasr Hospital, including the ICU."
"The injury left Nour with severe stiffness in her limbs, a condition doctors describe as more debilitating than partial paralysis. We have tried repeatedly to make her sit, but she cannot, Othman said."
Nour Abu Samaan was born just before the outbreak of war in Gaza, facing immediate health crises from toxic gas exposure. Her mother, Samar Hammad, witnessed her daughter's struggle for breath due to inhalation of toxic gases. Nour was diagnosed with movement paralysis and spent a month in intensive care. The family faced further tragedy as they evacuated just before their hospital was bombed, leaving Nour as the sole survivor of the attack. The injury resulted in severe stiffness in her limbs, complicating her recovery.
