After being shot at an aid site in May, Gazan Ibraheem Saeed Abdel Nabi has built his own prosthetic leg out of a sewage pipe and an old window, hoping to be able to care for his family again. The 33-year-old says his leg had to be amputated at the hospital, where he stayed for more than a month, due to an infection. "My dream is to have a prosthetic limb and support my family," he says back with his family in Al-Mawasi.
