Three-year-old Habebat Allah lost both arms and a leg in a missile strike during the ongoing war in Gaza, while eight-year-old Sidra Al Bordeeni hadn't been on a bike since the missile strike that tore through her school in Gaza a year ago. She lost her right arm during the explosion at Nuseirat School, where she and her family had sought shelter from airstrikes, Reuters reports.

Sidra's mother, Sabreen, said hospitals were overwhelmed, and with no way to leave, there was no chance of saving her daughter's hand. According to Reuters, Sidra's return to two wheels came after a life-changing fitting in a Jordanian clinic, where she received a custom-made prosthetic arm built in Karachi, Pakistan, over 4,000 kilometers away.
