JERUSALEM \u2014 Among the children in the Gaza Strip<\/a> who have survived nearly 11 months of war is a new generation of orphans<\/a> and amputees. And then, there\u2019s 8-year-old Sama.<\/p>\n

Though she still has both her parents<\/a> and all her limbs<\/a>, Sama Tabeel has lost almost all of her hair due to the unbearable stress of the war. \u201cI am terrified of the shelling,\u201d she tells NBC News from a camp in Khan Younis. She covers her bald head with a pink bandana she rarely takes off and passes time by playing with a doll whose hair she can braid, while longing for her own.<\/p>\n

Sama\u2019s mother watches with a heavy heart as her daughter sobs during much of the interview. \u201cSama was exposed to horror, fear and panic,\u201d Olfat Tabeel, 33, said.<\/p>\n
