Footage of a four-year-old girl whose face was severely burned by an Israeli attack on her house in the Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza, has sparked anger among social media users and triggered calls for help.
Saja Junaid was receiving treatment at al-Shifa Hospital when she was forced to leave with her family after the Israeli army stormed the compound on Monday, putting her life at risk.
- Journalist Hani Abu Rizk, who reported the young girl’s story, said she was displaced from Gaza City to Deir el-Balah following the Israeli raid.

He added that the child had not eaten in three days because her father could not find any food to give her.
- Meanwhile, social media users launched the Arabic hashtag “Save Saja Junaid” to ask the UN and relief organisations to ensure and provide medical treatment.
