Mohammed Srour, a 15-year-old from Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, used to practice gymnastics and swimming.
But in June 2026, his life changed when a suspicious object left behind from Israeli military activity exploded, resulting in the amputation of both his legs, limited movement in one hand and loss of sight in one eye.
Mohammed has yet to receive prosthetic limbs. He has a medical referral for treatment outside Gaza, but is still waiting for permission to leave for treatment and prosthetic fitting.
A staggering 25% of all Gazans who have lost limbs during this conflict are children, creating a generation of young amputees facing permanent disability.
Listen and watch as Mohammed tells his story in CGTN's Voices of Gaza series.
