Two years ago we told you about the death of Palestinian child from Gaza during a surgery In a hospital in Turkey, where he was being treated.
Mohammed Siam(14) had lost 12 of his relatives in an Israeli occupation forces’ air-strike during Israel’s attack against Palestine’s besieged Gaza Strip on the summer of 2014.
He had also lost his right leg below at the knee, his left feet, had back injuries which kept him in constant pain and a piece of shrapnel was still embedded in his torso. He was rarely able to eat, and when he could do so, he tended to vomit afterwards.
But he didn’t give up. Mohammed nnever lost his optimism. After all he had gone through and was still experiencing, he believed in a better future for himself.
Only his grandfather at his side he was treated first in occupied East Jerusalem and then in Turkey. He was told that he would get leg prostheses and grasping a tablet showing a photo of a handicapped athlete, a blade-runner, he dreamed of running once again and believed in his dream.
His recovery had started when he had to go through a respitatory tract and lung surgery. The surgery should have been relatively safe, with high chance of survival. He went asleep, waiting to wake up after it but Mohammed never woke up, dying during the surgery.
We can’t forget his smile.
When someone claims to you that “Israel is just defending itself”, tell that person about Mohammed Siam and his family.
When someone claims to you that “Israel wants only peace”, tell that person about Mohammed Siam and his family.
We can’t forget his smile. We can’t forget his death.
