Layan al-Baz cries in agony when the effect fades of the painkillers she receives after her legs were amputated — the result of a strike on Gaza as Israel fights Hamas, according to AFP.
“I don’t want a false leg,” the 13-year-old Palestinian tells AFP in Khan Yunis’s Nasser hospital, in the southern Gaza Strip, where getting artificial limbs was nearly impossible anyway.
“I want them to put my legs back, they can do it,” Baz says in desperation from her bed at Nasser’s paediatric ward. Every time she opens her eyes as the painkillers wear off, she sees her bandaged stumps.
