Al-Aqsa Hospital has been treating wounded Palestinians since Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip began, and it has been constantly overwhelmed.

Patients have no option but to sleep on the floor in the overcrowded hospital corridors, and some need treatment that doctors are unable to provide.

One of those is young Mohamed Abu Shgheba, whose right leg was badly injured when he and his father were caught in an Israeli bombardment of their home.

Mohamed has been made comfortable for now. But he will need treatment outside Gaza if he is ever to walk again.
