LONDON: A 15-year-old Palestinian has spoken of his happiness after being taken to the UK for medical treatment from Gaza.
Majd Alshagnobi suffered severe injuries in February 2024 after an Israeli tank shell exploded near him, causing him to lose much of his face, including all of his jaw and teeth.
His mother Islam told Sky News: “When Majd first got to the hospital, they thought he was dead because of the severities of the injuries on his face and leg, but when he raised his arm, they realized he was still alive.
“All the operating rooms were busy, so they carried out the operation in the kitchen to save him.
“It was very difficult for him to breathe, and they had to feed him through tubes and syringes through his nose. He really suffered.”
