At 15 years old, Mahmoud Abou Nusair remembers playing football before an Israeli strike in Gaza severed his leg, Al-Monitor reported. The teenager now receives treatment at a centre in Jordan alongside other young amputees from the territory, where they grapple with the loss of their limbs and the futures they once envisioned.
The facility serves Palestinian youth displaced by the conflict, offering rehabilitation and a space for survivors to process trauma and shattered aspirations. Abou Nusair's account reflects the broader toll of the fighting on Gaza's youngest population.
