"VICTIMS OF OPERATION CAST LEAD"
Mohammad Al Ejla, 18, was just arriving to a shop to buy candles for his mother when a rocket exploded. Ten people were killed and many injured. Mohammad spent three days in Shifa hospital, and then he was transferred to a hospital in Egypt. He was in coma for a month. He lost his right arm, his left leg and suffered several shrapnel wounds. He still has some shrapnel in his face and his head. Mohammad was an apprentice at his uncle's mechanic shop, but now he spends his days at home. He would need to be operated on again, to remove the last shrapnel pieces and also to be fitted with an artificial limb.
