Mahmoud Ajjour, Aged Nine | Samar Abu Elouf

Mahmoud lost both arms above the elbow after he was hit by a missile fired by Israeli planes during the war on Gaza. Mahmoud’s family fled their home after shells began falling. The going was slow, and the boy went back to urge everyone on. When an explosion ripped off one hand and mangled the other, he asked to be left behind, saying: “I am going to die.”
