Nasma Ayad sits by her eight-year-old daughter Jana's hospital bed in Gaza City, fearing that time is running out for a medical evacuation. Jana, severely malnourished and weighing just 11 kilograms, struggles with basic functions due to the worsening scarcity of food and medical supplies in the region.
