A local resident, Shurouq, is struggling to care for her young daughter, Karmel, in a shelter room. The child woke up in distress, complaining of difficulty breathing and pointing to her chest. Shurouq tried to alleviate her symptoms by splashing water on her face and fanning her with a plastic tray.

The heat is a major concern, as it persists even at night. Shurouq's shelter room has all windows open, despite the risk of insects and rodents, in an attempt to mitigate the heat. Further details about the situation are available from ReliefWeb.

Shurouq's difficulties are compounded by her recent loss and displacement. Her husband was killed in the early weeks of the war, and she has been forced to move multiple times with her daughter.
