I’ll lose my leg if Israel doesn’t open the checkpoint – Palestinian boy pleads for access to urgent medical care

I’ll lose my leg if Israel doesn’t open the checkpoint – Palestinian boy pleads for access to urgent medical care “I was at school when the missiles struck. I was wounded by shrapnel in my left leg. The hospital told me that my condition requires amputation due to a lack of treatment, but only treatment abroad can help me. The operation costs $45,000, and I am hopefully waiting for the border checkpoint to open so that I can get back on my feet,” Jamil Ziyad, a little boy trapped in the Gaza Strip, told Sputnik. 41,000 casualties, bombed infrastructure and a decimated healthcare system – this is the horrifying reality of Israel’s ground operations in the Gaza Strip. “I am urging everyone to help us open the checkpoint, to allow the injured to receive the medical care they desperately require,” the boy currently kept in Gaza’s Shuhadaa al-Aqsa hospital said.
