Julia Abu Zeiter, a four-year-old girl, battles a rare neurological disorder known as alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) in the midst of the conflict in Gaza. AHC, affecting approximately one in a million births, causes recurrent paralysis and life-threatening seizures, earning its patients the moniker of 'human time bombs.' Julia's access to vital medication was severed during the nine-month war in Gaza, endangering her life.
Julia and her aunt, Dareen Zeiter, embarked on a perilous journey to seek medical assistance, eventually finding refuge aboard a floating hospital operated by the United Arab Emirates. The hospital, stationed off the coast of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, has provided care to numerous injured Palestinians, including children like Julia and two leukemia patients.
