Video: Gaza’s Rafah crossing reopening came too late for this 3-year-old

🤕😩 I'm still thinking about this mom's story, Ahmed Shihab's wife... her pain is like, so real 🤯. Three years waiting for medical supplies to reach her kid, and what does she get? A one-hour window to save him? It's just not fair 😔. We talk about Gaza being under blockades all the time, but we forget that it's human lives that are getting affected in the most tragic ways.

I remember when the crossing was closed, people were saying "oh, it'll open again soon". But here we are, still waiting for answers 🤷‍♀️. What if this mom had one more chance? One more hour to save her kid? I wish there's a way to turn back time and give those families more time... but we can't, right? 😔 All we can do is keep spreading awareness about the situation and maybe, just maybe, someone will listen 💡.
 
😔💔 this is so heartbreaking I cant even imagine what its like to watch ur child fall gravely ill while u r waiting for passage 🤕🚑 it's like the world is against u at that point. anyway, the fact that the rafah crossing has finally reopened is a huge relief for all those families struggling over there 🙏🌎 but sadly, its also a harsh reminder of how long they've had to wait and suffer 💔😩
 
🤕 I'm so sorry to hear about Ahmed Shihab's story... it's like, you feel bad for the guy, but at the same time, how can a border just close on someone and expect them not to try? I mean, medical supplies are like, super important for people in need. It's just frustrating that some families are stuck in this never-ending cycle of hope and despair.

It's also crazy that it took 'em almost 7 years to open the crossing... what were they even waiting for?! Did we think the situation was gonna magically fix itself? Like, come on, let's get a grip here. The system is broken, but we can't just sit around doing nothing while families suffer.

I'm all for supporting those in need, but we gotta be smart about it... maybe invest in some healthcare infrastructure instead of just throwing cash at the problem. Just saying.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this, you know? A mother's grief is one thing, but it feels like we're just not doing enough to support these families 🤕. I mean, the Rafah crossing finally opens after 7 long years, and what do they get? Just a 1-hour window to try and save their kid's life. It's heartbreaking thinking about Ahmed Shihab's last moments with his little one... it's like we're taking tiny steps towards hope and then snuffing them out again 💔. We gotta keep pushing for better, more reliable systems in place for families like this who are already struggling to breathe 🌎
 
🤕 my heart goes out to that poor family, it's like they were running out of options and still couldn't save their little one... i mean, you'd think having a crossing reopen would be the answer to all their prayers but for them, it was just another cruel twist of fate... how hard must it be for a parent to have to watch their child slip away from them like that? 💔 it's like they're still reliving the moment when they found out their son wasn't going to make it... and now with the crossing finally open, all anyone can do is wonder what could've been if only things had played out differently... 😕 it's just so heartbreaking.
 
omg, this is so heartbreaking 🤕... i mean, can u imagine waiting for months (or even years) to get medical attention for your kid and then they don't make it? 🚑😭 it's like, the crossing finally opens, but it's just too late for them. my heart goes out to ahmed shihab and his family 💔... we need more support for these families, especially when it comes to accessing basic healthcare services. how many lives could've been saved if the crossing was open sooner? 🤯 the thought of that little boy who didn't get a chance at life is just devastating 😢
