Adam al-Najjar, an 11-year-old boy from Gaza, is the only survivor of an Israeli airstrike that killed his father and nine siblings. Injured in the attack, Adam was evacuated to Italy for medical treatment, greeted by the Italian Foreign Minister in Milan. His mother, Alaa al-Najjar, a pediatrician who was working during the strike, focused on her son’s recovery while struggling with the emotional trauma from their loss. The appeal for Adam's medical evacuation came from his uncle, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crises faced by civilians in conflict zones.
"When I remember, it's too painful, so I try to keep my mind focused entirely on Adam." - Alaa al-Najjar.
"He has a head wound that is healing but his left arm is bad, the bones are fractured and the nerves damaged." - Alaa al-Najjar.
Following an appeal by his uncle, Adam has been evacuated to Italy for much-needed medical treatment.
