Shebab Wire reported that Shaaban Abu Fattair, a young man in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, has lost a foot and lost a child to hunger. Despite his amputation, Abu Fattair continues climbing date palms to provide food for his family, having been left with no other options by the war.
The man stands between two forms of grief: a mutilated body and a heart bearing the loss of his son who died of starvation. He presses forward each day, sustained by necessity rather than hope.
