Ten-year-old Anas and his two siblings, all born without legs and with severe hand disabilities, have received wheelchairs that allow them greater independence in Gaza, UN News reported. The three children previously struggled with basic mobility and daily activities including eating and writing. Anas expressed his newfound freedom, saying "For the first time I have my own chair."
The donation has changed how the siblings move around their home and community, reducing their dependence on family members for assistance. Their case reflects broader challenges faced by disabled children in Gaza, where access to mobility aids and adaptive equipment remains limited.
