Sanad was the first baby born at the Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah.
His family named him Sanad, meaning "support" and "strength".
Now, looking forward to his third birthday, his parents’ wish for him is simple: to grow up safe & have a chance at a better life.
This week marks three years since an unprecedented escalation of violence in Israel and the occupied territories that has seen countless lives shattered, thousands of people killed and injured, and families torn apart.

Humanitarian workers are being killed, injured and attacked at alarming levels.
Protecting them is not optional. It is an obligation under international humanitarian law — and essential to reaching people caught in conflict.
In New York, as world leaders gather for the UN General Assembly, ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric called on States to turn commitments into action: ensure respect for international humanitarian law and protect those working to save lives.
The safety of humanitarian personnel is inseparable from the safety of the people they serve.
Even war has limits.

More than 130 armed conflicts are taking place worldwide, with devastating consequences for millions of people. But it is not too late to reverse course.
Changing how wars are fought requires political will. That is why Brazil, China, France, Jordan, Kazakhstan and South Africa, together with the ICRC, launched the Global IHL Initiative - to make respect for international humanitarian law a political priority and limit suffering in armed conflict.
At the UN General Assembly, representatives from the six founding States joined the ICRC President in calling for renewed respect for the rules of war.
So far, 118 States have formally joined the Initiative. Now, that commitment must translate into action.

ALT Today, we delivered 22 tonnes of life-saving medical supplies to Sana\u2019a to replenish dwindling stocks and support hospitals responding to a growing number of war-wounded patients in Yemen. The delivery is part of a wider emergency response to intensifying fighting that has placed health-care facilities across Yemen under immense strain, including in Marib governorate, where an ICRC mobile surgical team has been deployed since late August. \u201CThe recent escalation in hostilities has overwhelmed hospitals, which are grappling with critical shortages of medical supplies and an influx of war-wounded patients,\u201D said Christine Cipolla, ICRC\u2019s head of delegation in Yemen. \u201CThis urgent support will help front-line hospitals continue life-saving care to those in desperate need.\u201D
