This documentary follows the heartbreaking story of a Palestinian family in Gaza struggling to get medical treatment for their sick child, Firas. In a place where thousands of patients cannot access adequate healthcare due to the ongoing blockade, even the simplest medical procedures become an exhausting ordeal of permits, photographs, coordination with Israeli hospitals, and crushing bureaucratic obstacles that no parent should have to endure.
When a Mother’s Love Meets an Impossible System
Firas’s mother, Amal, spent two years shuttling between hospitals, administering medications, and watching her child suffer — all while navigating a system designed to obstruct rather than help. When the local doctors could do no more, the only option was treatment in Israel — but even that required coordination, permits, and the right photograph on a birth certificate. Despite every obstacle, this mother’s determination never wavered.
“I hope that every child I saw suffering next to my child receives treatment and gets out. It is his right to live. It is his right to be treated. I saw him struggling in front of me, but there was nothing in my hands to do for him.”
Life Goes On in Gaza
- Thousands of patients in Gaza are denied adequate medical treatment due to the blockade and restricted movement
- Children bear the heaviest burden — denied basic healthcare that is readily available just miles away
- Despite unimaginable loss, Palestinian families continue to show resilience, faith, and an unwavering love for life
- As believers, we say what God has decreed — but we must also do everything in our power to help those who are suffering
“Life goes on in Gaza. There are thousands of people who need medical treatment. Until the situation improves, these patients will be waiting — struggling for one of the most basic human rights.”
