Medical Expenses of Resilient Palestinian Child Shot by IDF
Donation protected
On September 12th, my 16-year-old cousin was shot twice by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. As he was leaving the gym, he was unexpectedly sniped in the groin and in the leg. Although stable, he is in serious condition. He requires reconstructive surgery and the facility he is currently in does not have the resources to do so. I am raising money to help cover his medical bills and the financial burden associated with traveling to another country for this specialized surgery. Please consider donating. $1 is the same as $100, anything helps.
This was an unprovoked attack on him and 4 other Palestinians in the village. Luckily, everyone is alive but in serious condition. The others sustained gunshot wounds to the face, legs, and back.
Aside from Israel's shoot-to-kill tactic, this is another genocidal tactic in which soldiers will deliberately target reproductive organs, the spine, and knees/legs. This is done to disable Palestinians and cause infertility. This is the very definition of genocide. Disabled Palestinians cannot fight/resist the occupation and forced infertility prevents new Palestinians from being born.
Please make a duaa or a prayer for the recovery of my cousin and the other Palestinians involved.
