Iman al-Masry is simply exhausted after giving birth to quadruplets in a hospital in southern Gaza, miles away from her home in the north of the war-torn Palestinian territory, Al Jazeera reports.

In mid-October, days into the Israel-Hamas conflict, the young woman fled her family home in Beit Hanoon on foot with her three other children seeking safety.

They walked five kilometres (three miles) to the Jabalia refugee camp, looking for a means of transport that would take them to Deir el-Balah further south.

Iman was six months pregnant and “the distance was too long”, she said.

“It affected my pregnancy,” added the 28-year-old mother, who gave birth by c-section on December 18 to daughters Tia and Lynn and sons Yasser and Mohammed.
