An amputee chasing his dreams amidst the Gaza war
Eleven-year-old Asif Abu Mahadi is a resident of the Gaza Strip.
His dream was to become a football player, but his leg was amputated after an Israeli bombing targeted a house near the Nuseirat camp.
Asif tells us his story.

But very bad leaders.
Things you heard from this boy. 1) He has been through a lot of w@πs at this age. 2) Went through Amputation without anesthesia. 3) He is greatful for all of that 4) Looks forward to continue education and prosthesis to play football again. This boy said more then you can hear from an inspirational speaker in 2 mins Blessings for you little hero
Yesterday, my son hurt himself while playing nothing big but as a mother my heart just sank for a minute to hear that. And there is a boy younger than my son with so much faith,courage, strength, resilience. Ya Allah, our hearts are bleeding. Please send your immediate help. My son, you will play all the football you wish in Jannah Insha Allah. My iman just increased because of you Alhamdulillah. Love you my son.

You should listen to the kid from Israel then. About the same age. His whole life he had to attend at least 2 funerals as a result of Hamas. Since Oct 7, he has had over 40 funerals to attend. There was even more. Difference is in Gaza it was artillery, in Israel it was Hamas bare hands!!!

@@Ruth.7899 You do realize I can in fact make the same argument for Israel's case right? I gave one child as a for instance. There are more. Israeli's have not been spared either for the same amount of time with them and longer with the rest of the world!! What kind of human are you to support what they did on Oct 7 of this year? They shot, beat, violated, killed, shot their corpses, beat their corpses, and violated their corpses! What kind of human looks for an argument to condone such barbaric acts?! It is not Israel's fault hamas controls Gaza! It is not Israel's fault for the attack perpetrated against them on Oct 7! It is not Israel's fault when civilians shield a terrorist group and get hit in the blasts cuz they refused to leave well enough alone!!! Israel didn't specifically target civilians like Hamas did on Oct 7!!!! Big, huge, defining differences!!!! How would the US respond to something like that being done against our people???? Be careful where you tread!

@@Ruth.7899 Nothing justifies the attack on Oct 7 of this year and Israel, with Egypts help and at the behest of Egypt and the world, have been desperately trying to evacuate Gazan civilians!!! Anyone who would attempt to condone that attack in any way has no soul! Israel needs to put a stop to the barbaric slaughter of their people perpetrated by Hamas by eradicating Hamas! Those who wish to live and not die beside should leave till a time where they can return. Or, just a thought, explore the vast world outside!!! One does not need to keep themselves in a pit for sentimental sake! Get out! Create a new life! Be better! Do better! Don't blame others for what is technically your fault when you are capable of leaving and have those willing to help you leave!!!!

Well! The hospital ran out of medical supplies including anesthetics and that's why this kid and many other Palestinians underwent surgeries without being anesthetized, remember fukcing Israel has totally blocked the supply of food, fuel, electricity, water and medicines into Gaza.
This kid is a hero. May Allah bless him with good health and muqammal shifaa.

@@aussiepatriot Your misplaced hatred of Jews shows just how ignorant you are. If you’d crawl out of your cave and educate yourself, you would realize that many Jews worldwide support the Palestinian cause - yet you choose to make it about their religion. Examples: Dr. Norman Finkelstein, Dr. Gabor Mate, Jewish Voices For Peace, a group of orthodox rabbis known as Neturei Karta who demonstrate worldwide and even oppose Zionism/the State of Israel. Would you like it your ethnicity/religion was broad-brushed and targeted? Then again, maybe you should go crawl back in your cave and let your brain continue vegetating as it has up until now.

Sono sconvolta. Io temo che questo senso di totale controllo, così impressionante in un bambino così piccolo, lascerà spazio al dolore e alla rabbia. I traumi spesso sono mascherati dalla necessità di andare avanti. Certo é un bambino coraggioso come coraggioso é tutto il popolo Palestinese. Non ho parole. Spero solo di poter partecipare ad iniziative di sostegno per questi fratelli perseguitati. Ai responsabili auguro di assaggiare l'inferno.
