Six-year-old Raseel al-Balawi has undergone more than 20 operations since she was injured in an air strike in Gaza in late July. Her case highlights the struggle to treat severe wounds amid continuing bombardment and the near-total destruction of infrastructure that children and medical services depend on.

Witnesses say an Israeli helicopter struck Raseel’s tent in al-Mawasi camp. She now needs repeated surgery to control infections in her wounds; Israel’s military says it has no record of the attack and regrets harm to civilians. BBC Eye Investigations followed Raseel through the summer as the ceasefire faltered.
