Fair warning — this is a soul-crushing story from the BBC:
Malnourished five-month-old baby Siwar is now out of hospital in Gaza - but as we found, she and her family are struggling.

“… For 19 months of war, and now under a renewed Israeli offensive, this local cameraman - who I do not name, for his safety - has listened to the anguished cries of the survivors in hospital courtyards.
His physical distance is respectful, but they are on his mind, day and night. He is one of them, trapped in the same claustrophobic hell.
This morning he is setting out to find Siwar Ashour, a five-month-old girl whose
emaciated frame and exhausted cry at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis affected him so much, when he was filming there earlier this month, that he wrote to tell me something had broken inside him.
She weighed just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be about 6kg or over.…”
