Seven-year-old Mohammed Hijazi from Jabalia, Gaza, faced a heartbreaking accident when an explosive remnant detonated after he touched it. 😢 Despite surviving multiple airstrikes and fleeing with his family to escape the ongoing conflict, this incident has put his vision at serious risk.
In an ordinary day during March, Mohammed unknowingly picked up an unexploded object left behind by Israeli soldiers. The accident led to the removal of one of his eyeballs, and his remaining eye now faces the threat of atrophy without urgent medical care – treatment that is sadly unavailable in Gaza.
Expressing his deep concern, his father said, "If Hamoud doesn't travel abroad very soon, he might lose his remaining eye." His family is now tirelessly working to secure treatment abroad in hopes of restoring even a part of Mohammed's sight.
This story is a stark reminder of how conflicts affect individual lives. It calls for global awareness and support for humanitarian efforts in regions facing dire challenges. Stay informed and help spread the word – every voice counts. ✨
