"Our little Noor got shot at in the old camp location, an open area with only displaced civilians around. She had a successful surgery days later and we are taking care of her in the camp’s new location.
The Refaat Alareer camp is a camp that shelters the most medically vulnerable families that have no space for them in hospitals, and many that are waiting to get evacuated.
The camp currently has 17 families with cases of pediatric cancer, cerebral palsy, mental disabilities, cardiac cases, severe malnourishment and more.
Why was a camp for sick people targeted? And why was Noor shot at?"
