Just two weeks after our last mission to Syria, the team was back again at dawn, eager to pick up where they had left off.
At Ibn Alnafees Hospital, the day was filled with movement, energy, and—most of all—hope.
Among the patients was Mohd-Nour Al Salkhadi, a 17-year-old who lost both legs below the knee in an electrical shock just five months ago. For months, he had been in a wheelchair, his muscles weakened by inactivity. Receiving his final prostheses was only the beginning. Step by step, Mohd-Nour had to relearn how to stand, balance, and move again. With the support of the team, he trained tirelessly using a walker, building the strength and confidence needed to take his first steps.His journey is not just about receiving prostheses—it is about the hard work, determination, and training that will carry
The halls of the hospital echoed with more stories of resilience. Mohammed Al Kohli, a 15-year-old who lost his right leg to a missile when he was only four, came to receive his silicon liner. With it, he was finally able to try out the prosthesis he had been fitted with last month—one more step toward regaining the freedom of movement.
Not every story ended that day, though. Yasmin Ahmad, a 17-year-old girl with bilateral below-knee amputations, was unable to make it to the hospital. Yet, her journey isn’t over—her final prostheses are already waiting for her, prepared for the moment she returns for her fitting.
It was, as always, a busy day but one filled with courage, progress, and the quiet but powerful promise of new beginnings.
