A group of about 80 Palestinians, including an 11-year-old boy who lost nine siblings and father in an Israeli strike in Gaza last month, will arrive in Italy later today for hospital treatment, Italy’s foreign minister says, according to Reuters.

Accompanied by his mother, Adam Al-Najjar will be transferred to Niguarda Hospital in the northern city of Milan, while others will be moved to nearby Bergamo and Rome.

“Adam will arrive in Milan and be treated at Niguarda hospital because he has multiple fractures,” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said in an interview with RTL 102.5 radio. His spokesman said the group included 17 injured people, accompanied by 52 others.

Adam “is stable, has a head wound that is healing but his left arm is bad, the bones are fractured and the nerves damaged,” his 36-year-old mother and paediatrician, Alaa al-Najjar, told Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

“The damage is in my left hand, there is a problem with the nerves. I can’t feel my fingers. There’s still a lot of pain,” Adam told Anadolu.
