‘We give birth only to lose them’: Injured Palestinian mothers grieve for babies killed in Gaza






Qatar, Doha CNN — Raneem Hijazi remembers how tightly she held her one-year-old son Azzouz before the Israeli airstrike hit. The drone flying over their building in Gaza was getting louder and she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. “Whatever happens to me, happens to him,” she says of her reasoning in holding him so close to her baby bump.

She does not remember the moment of impact, but the memory of the aftermath is imprinted in her brain. “You don’t feel the strike itself, you just open your eyes and you are under the rubble,” she says.
