Among the ruins of Gaza, our reporter Barbara Lohr set out in search of Mouna, a young girl she had met after Operation Cast Lead in 2009. 

Mouna, who had had her leg amputated, was in need of treatment. Barbara organised her hospitalisation in France. Mouna then returned home. After the bombings of this summer, Barbara wanted to find her again.
 
“3 wars in 6 years. Mouna belongs to the generation of people living in Gaza for whom life is nothing but a brief truce between two conflicts. She talked to me about her experience for the first time in 2009, when she had just lost a leg in the bombing of a UN school. I brought her back to France for treatment. Five years later, I found her in Gaza after this new war, the most devastating of all. The story of Mouna – from one war to the next – represents the uphill struggle of the traumatised civilian populations, who build new lives for themselves … only to lose everything all over again.”
