"The current situation reminds us of the conditions that appeared in Gaza (with the war) and later got worse. It is the same scenario that was in Gaza at the beginning, the same thing is happening here in Lebanon."

"We’ve tried to keep them as close to the hospital and shield them because it is… I mean there is a sense that they have been through it before and there is a lot of work that was done in terms of mental health and post-traumatic stress. So it’s been tough on them and it’s also been tough on them not knowing whether the treatment is going to continue or not."

"All we are asking is that he can just move his arm. That he is able to use his arm for anything that requires him to use it. He is just a child, five-and-half-years-old. It is so difficult for a child like him, who hasn’t even gotten to see anything in life (yet)."

"From the amount of cases and bodies that were thrown about on the ground… and her state – she was all covered in blood. People would come in with their head cut off, their hand cut off or the whole body gone – and Halima was amongst them. She was lying on the bed in the hospital and they said she had been martyred. It was not clear (what her state was), she was passed out. They said she was martyred."

19. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Siwar Abou Yassine, sister of Halima:
"All the children have been affected. When we got out of Gaza, Halima said it is impossible for her to go back to Gaza from the fear she experienced in Gaza. In Egypt, she used to say, ‘I don’t want to go back to Gaza because I don’t want to go back to the same fear.’ She’s waiting for the war – we are all waiting for the war in Gaza to end so we go back to Gaza without fear. What is the point of going back to Gaza when there are no buildings, no homes? We’d go back to the same suffering, there is no point."

STORYLINE:
Five-year-old Adam Afana lies in a hospital bed in Beirut, preparing for a life-changing surgery.
He lost the use of his limb in a blast that killed his father and sister in Gaza.
His arm is paralysed and requires complex surgery to correct a nerve damage.
Adam is one of a dozen Palestinian children severely wounded in the war in Gaza who were brought to Lebanon this year for specialised treatment.
