Jordan's Royal initiative provides a lifeline for Gaza's injured children


Ten-year-old Sael Arafat never imagined that a simple trip to buy coffee for his family would lead him to unknowingly purchase the world's most expensive coffee, a cost that will follow him for the rest of his life.

Speaking to the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Sael recounted how he was injured by shrapnel from an explosion on his way to buy coffee, resulting in the amputation of his right leg.

Sael, one of the beneficiaries of the Royal Initiative to treat 2,000 children from Gaza through the Jordan Medical Corridor, expressed his joy when his family received a phone call offering treatment in Jordan.

"I was overjoyed when we received the call for treatment in Jordan for a prosthetic limb that will allow me to walk again and enjoy my childhood," said Sael.
