Rizeq Tafish takes his first hesitant steps in four months while standing between two bars set up at a mobile clinic in Rafah, southern Gaza.
“I used to feel depressed and hopeless. He smiles after saying, “I feel happy and free now.”
Jordanian medical professionals should use the latest British technology to provide Rizeq with one of the first thousands of injured Palestinians with modern prosthetic limbs.
Note: There are graphic information about injuries in this story.
He was wounded by Israeli tank fire as he left Friday prayers in June and was displaced to Rafah. The blacksmith was in a dire situation because he was unable to work after having his leg amputated.
Rizeq claims, “I lost everything in my life, including my job and my hope.” “No one was available to provide care.”
