Majid Shaghnobi arrives at Heathrow Airport in London

Majid Shaghnobi cannot be eaten or speaking as it used to be. He can’t laugh.

But when an injured mouth was covered with a surgical mask, his eyes were shining when he arrived at Hydro Airport in London by plane from Cairo.

“I’m in the UK and I’m happy to be treated.” 15 years old said to me.

In February last year, when the Israeli tank peel exploded nearby, he shattered his jaw bones and injured his legs, trying to get humanitarian aid in the Kuwait area in the northern part of the country.

“One of my friends helped me to take me to the hospital,” he said. “They thought I was dead. I had to move my hand to show that I was alive.”

Gaza’s doctors saved their lives, and Majid spent months in the hospital, and was licensed by Israel, and was further treated by breathing through the institutional tube before evacuating to Egypt in February this year.

Now he is restoring the function of the face in the UK for surgery at the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London.

According to UNICEF, a UN children’s charity, he is the first Gazan Eye to arrive in England to treat war injuries.

His arrivals begin to work for several months by a group of volunteer medical professionals gathered in November 2023 and established the Project Pure Hope to help injured Gajan children to be treated in the UK. It supports funds with personal donations.

“There are the world’s best pediatrics in the UK, but countries like countries such as the United States, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and other countries have still tried to help, but the UK still hasn’t done it,” said Proper Hope.

The arrival of Majid, which arrived in the UK, should be less than a week after the promise to evacuate children who were more severely injured, but the government rarely disclosed the details of this plan.

Majid’s medical team (all free) includes two facial, plastic and orthodontic surgeons, and includes a hospital bill paid by personal donation.

“If we can give him a face and jaw that can be used to him, he can’t be completely normal, but he hopes to feed and speak himself, and his expression will be better if he can give him a face and jaw that can be used to him.”

“Hopefully it will have a great influence on how he lives and a big impact on the future.

“Our hope is hoping to help more children like this for the next few months. It is our collective moral responsibility.”

Majid told the BBC that I thought I was dead.

The doctors of the hospital previously treated patients in Ukraine and helped the co -adjusted twins of Israel last year.

JEELANI was disappointed that the first child from Gada took a long time to be treated for a British war injury.

“As a doctor and human, I don’t understand why it takes 20 months to reach this stage,” he said.

Project Pure Hope has confirmed 30 seriously injured children who will help you bring from Gaza to British. The government’s announcement is “vitality and long for a long time,” but the time is essential.

Co -founder Omar Din said, “We will dangerous the lives and future of children who have the opportunity to live, restore, and rebuild their daily delays.”

In April, the volunteer group secured a 13 -year -old Rama and 5 -year -old Nana’s visa.

They evacuated from Gaza to Egypt and took them to London. There, with the destruction of the medical system, they did not receive the necessary treatment.

I met them in early May, and Rama was always weighted, and GHENA, who was deeply traumatic and withdrew, was noticeably played.

Ghena had laser surgery to alleviate the pressure of the left eye, and she was at risk of losing. And Rama had a severe intestinal surgery.

Both girls are doing well, mother says.

But they are worried about the family left in Gaza.

“It’s better than let’s go here,” Rama said. “There is no bomb and fear.”

But friends say that they have not been found for 10 days from Gazza and says that her brother was first slept on the street at home.

“I don’t want to eat because I’m hungry. I still feel like being with them.”

Unbeated experts said this week’s extensive hunger, malnutrition and diseases are evidence of an increase in hunger -related deaths among 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Majid, who has been injured to change his life while trying to get food for his family, is also worried about the two brothers in Gaza.

“I’m afraid that they will die, so something will happen to them,” he said. “I just want to be safe.”
