Verbatim
“There are two siblings who have shrapnel from the 2024 war that is now causing medical problems. A boy with a partial amputation of his foot that needs reconstruction, from this war, and another boy with an amputation.”
“When a child is wounded, they are not just physically wounded. They are emotionally, psychologically and socially wounded - almost existentially wounded.”
