In Gaza's Maghazi camp, children like 10-year-old Maysara Zaqout and 12-year-old Yamen Saleh endure daily struggles to fetch water, causing muscle pain, hernias, and scoliosis. Doctors report rising cases among children, with UNICEF noting 82% of families face water insecurity. The war has killed over 73,400 Palestinians and displaced most of the population.
