Gaza: Leaning on crutches that he never imagined would replace his leg, 51-year-old Palestinian Tawfiq Al Sheikh walks slowly through the corridors of Hamad Hospital in Al Zawaida, central Gaza.
His hope is to reclaim a semblance of his life before the Israeli assault, aided by a prosthetic limb that now supports his daily struggles.
Al Sheikh told QNA that he lived a normal life before the war, recalling the airstrike that hit his street at the start of the conflict. The blast led to an above-knee amputation and a long recovery, culminating in his referral to Hamad Hospital for prosthetic fitting.
Getting the artificial limb, he said, helped him walk again and resume his life, even if partially.
