Three-year-old Amjad Al-Qanou from northern Gaza is fighting for his life after his weight dropped to just 5 kilograms due to severe malnutrition. Thousands of children across Gaza are suffering from hunger and shortages of food, medicine, and medical care, while the continued restrictions on the entry of essential aid are worsening their suffering and putting their lives at risk.
An Israeli army sniper shot 16-year-old Palestinian teenager Mahmoud Al-Durra while he was collecting firewood in the Gaza Strip in October 2025. He was then detained while wounded and subjected to beatings and mistreatment for approximately nine hours at the Bureij refugee camp.
Mahmoud was later transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross, where doctors were forced to amputate his right leg.
The injury ended his career as a licensed football player and shattered his dream of becoming a professional athlete.
At the heart of Mahmoudβs story is the name of his brother, Muhammad Al-Durra, the Palestinian child who was killed by Israeli gunfire during the Second Intifada in 2000. Images of Muhammad became deeply etched in the collective Palestinian memory, turning him into an icon of the Palestinian cause and a symbol of the suffering of Palestinian children under occupation.
Today, Mahmoud lives with his family in their severely damaged home, trying to adapt to a new life after losing his leg, while facing the harsh conditions imposed by the war.
