Evacuated in an incubator, now back in Gaza getting to know mama

Maternal uncle of Bissan who was evacuated as a premature baby during the two-year Israeli offensive for treatment in Egypt, plays with her after she returned to Gaza as her Palestinian mother Sundus al-Kurd, 29, reaches her arms out, in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, March 31, 2026. Bissan was one of a group of 29 preterm infants evacuated from a neonatal hospital ward as Israel's invading forces drew close. \"Bissan has begun to understand who mama really is, who her mother really is,\" Sundus said. \"I am the only person present in her life. I am the one who feeds her, changes her clothes, combs her hair, and plays with her.\" REUTERS/Mahmoud Issa
