The Dixmude, a French helicopter carrier docked in Egypt, has been turned into a field hospital to treat some of Gaza's most severely wounded.
EL-ARISH, Egypt -- Sixteen-year-old Abdul Rahman Iyad, now in a wheelchair, was critically injured in the leg and head when an Israeli strike hit his home in central Gaza on Christmas Eve, killing his parents, siblings and grandparents, he said.
Israeli strikes also left 8-year-old Abdullah with a fractured thigh bone and arm injury, his mother told ABC News.
And 16-year-old Nesma Abu Jeyad lost a leg after she said her home was hit by a rocket on Oct. 30.
All three children are being treated aboard the Dixmude, a French helicopter carrier docked in el-Arish, Egypt, that's been turned into a field hospital to treat some of Gaza's most severely wounded.
