Nuseirat, Gaza, Palestine - Nour Mwani, a 27-year-old midwife, was still in the al-Awda Health Center delivery room with a woman who arrived early in the morning in labour.
The shift manager said she would need about half an hour to attend to the birth, clean up, and sterilise the room and equipment.
In the reception area, the grandmother, grandfather and uncles of a newborn were passing the baby around in a festive atmosphere.
Grandma beamed as she inspected the baby, swaddled in a pink scarf.
The happiness on their faces brought warmth and joy to hearts around them. This kind of happiness had been absent for a long time.
