Gaza Strip — Ismail Al-Fajm is relieved that his nephew, seven-year-old Salem Sammour, is among the 81 wounded Palestinians who could cross over on Wednesday from the besieged Gaza Strip into Egypt from the Rafah crossing.
Sammour had lost his father and other family members in an air raid a little over two weeks ago. The young boy’s body is riddled with shrapnel that has cut off part of his flesh, and left him writhing and screaming in pain. Meanwhile, his mother needs treatment for her own injuries.
