Rami has a psychologist, surgeon and physiotherapist. He was also fed, dressed, and taught a small school of MSF in the future “, a bright prefabricated building on hospital grounds. After missing a lot of education, he was an enthusiastic student.
But his father also lost his father Mohammed and his brother Abdul Salam – who needed a snake leg but did not leave Gaza with him.
They are grateful for their treatment, but he and his mother want to go home as soon as possible.
“Gaza is good,” Rami told me. “In Gaza before the war, we used to have treatment, but after help stopped.”
With the facilities and skills of the MSF Hospital, now he continues to progress.
“He came to a wheelchair,” as his physiotherapist, Zaid Alqaisi, making a strong bond with Rami while helping him to walk again.
“He was very inspired. He wanted to return to his friends and his family. He wanted him to proud his father.”
He also wants to swim in the Gaza sea again.
But more operations are in front, and Rami and his mother have no idea when they go home.
It is not known if they allow Gaza to be returned another great tension for all Palestinian patients above their trauma, according to psychologist Zainun-Sunna.

He was in his mother’s arm when he was killed by a wind strike on October 2023, with his brothers. At Gaza hospital, a nurse trying to enjoy him telling her her mother became a star.
“From then on, he looked at the sky at night, looking for stars and talked to them,” as he was Sabah. “He didn’t talk to other people. But I heard him saying the stars: ‘Mummy I ate, Mommy I’m going to bed now.'”
Psychological damage to hospital patients is often louder than physical.
“Some cannot recover,” Hospital Director Roshan Kumarasamy, saying that the restoration of the restoration is necessary to patients from Gaza for many years of injury “.
But Rami is strong and determined. When he breaks tears thinking of Mustafa, he assured me that it was “OK”.
And when he was and his mother was able to go to his family in Gaza on a video call, Rami wanted to show them how he could stand him two feet.
His father made him happy, saying: “Rami, a hero.”
And now his family had another reason to celebrate – Rami’s brother, Abdul Salam, and his father also given Gaza for Jordan.
For weeks coming, he should be mounted on a new leg, allowing two injured boys to go back to how to walk.
