BBC Eye's investigative team and the BBC World Service's Arabic service gained rare access to the Gaza Strip to portray how children survive amid the destruction there.
This documentary was filmed between June and September 2026, as a fragile ceasefire weakened and bombings continued to occur.
Since April 2026, more than a hundred people have died each month as a result of the Israeli military offensive against the Hamas group.

Sewage runs between refugee tents, while rats and other rodents multiply, feeding on accumulated waste.
Check it out in the exclusive BBC documentary.
