For more than 9 years syria has been embroiled in many cities lie in ruins more than 500000 people have lost their lives countless people have been injured many have lost limbs among them many children what kind of future do they now face. Mohammed can play football again though hes not quite as deft as they used to be his prosthetic leg is not a perfect fit sometimes it hurts but the 10 year old is adamant he doesnt want sympathy. In february 26th seen his life was turned upside down he was on his way home from school when syrian fighter jets appeared in the sky with a. 4 bombs hit our district one after the other. When they exploded i was completely conscious. And i remember being taken to the hospital. My leg was bleeding and i used my hand to support it. In january mohammed and his family fled so rock it for live in syrias last remaining rebel stronghold they feel slightly safer here theres a ceasefire which means fewer airstrikes. Mohammed copes as best he can. He lives in a small rented apartment with his parents and brother. They are among the lucky ones most displaced people here live in tents in densely populated camps mohammed longs to return to his hometown which was devastated in the war one day he says when peace returns. I want to play with my friends in zarar kip again go back to school there and then study. I want to become a doctor and help children who have lost their arms or legs so that they can be happy again. Far. Mohammad was not the only one to suffer in the airstrikes and neighbors daughter was killed and his brother was also injured though not as badly as Mohammed Mohammed nearly died. When. My son was 5 years old. He was in the operating theatre for 5 hours. It was a dreadful moment when he came out of the lower leg. Doctors told me theyd removed 10 pieces of shrapnel from his stomach. The following months with tough for mohammed supported by his father he had to learn to live with his new prosthetic leg. His fate is shared by many in syria. Since the beginning of the countrys civil war more than 22000 people have lost a leg. This Prosthetic Center is one of the few places they can get help. But funding is tight and the technical possibilities limited. They cant offer more complicated prosthetics but they do what they can to make life easier for those affected. We care for many patients here fortunately we dont have such high quality materials and our disposal often our patients cant wear the prostheses for very long or simply too many injured people for the funding that we have. Initially mohammed came here several times a week he was taught exercises given massages and above all received a lot of psychological support. He quickly grew out of his 1st 2 prostheses and is now on his 3rd. Mohammed suffered a great deal he became introverted and depressed his injuries really shook him to the core. Has said its really. His doing much better now but life is tough for people here in india 1st the war another coronavirus pandemic the schools are closed prices have shot up and unemployment is widespread. Officially the city has no cases of covert 19 but then theres almost no testing here either. If cases emerge it could prove devastating many hospitals are in ruins sanitary conditions are poor hardly anyone wears a mask. Mohammed sells silk thread and cloth on a street corner. He uses his earnings around 10 euros a day to support his family hed be better off at school but every cent counts right now. Mohammeds father has lost his job and the family is living off their savings mohammed doesnt want to be a burden to his parents he has fought his way back into life and he wants to prove how strong he has. Many people treat mohamad like someone with something missing with a disability. He wants to prove the opposite to show that he lacks nothing. Oh he wants me better than his friends to win opinions especially a football. Player. And hes not without role models in 2017 some footballers who had lost legs in the war formed a team there are now 15 of them and they have lots of fans. They play a serious football wearing purse d. C. S. But mohammed has his sights set even higher. And i want to play like chris johnno ronaldo. Moments of happiness life might have thrown muhammad a curve ball but hes determined to survive and thrive no matter what. Brazil asia Africa North America across the globe forests are on fire on in 29000 the lone forest land the size of a football field was destroyed every 6 seconds yet forests are essential for our climates handoff planets water supply without trees numbs becomes dry and thats apparent in panama and its famous can outthink in the atlantico on the Pacific Ocean deforestation has led to Climate Change in recent decades panama has felt 20000. 00 square kilometers of woodlands the result heavily loaded ships are having increasing difficulties travelling the panama canal. The journey through the panama canal is expensive large container ships and tankers pay up to 1000000. 00 u. S.
