It's a huge challenge, not just from a professional point of view - because again they are coming with severe conditions, in severe, complicated cases - but not from the professional point of view, but also from a humanitarian point of view, from a cultural point of view. I think here in the hospital department, we are building a real bridge, between living with our neighbours." Khan Younis, Gaza Strip - 1 May 2013 11.

SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Hamouda al-Farra, Grandfather of Mohammed al-Farra: "His mother and father - I think if I ask them, they will agree - if a person adopted this child and took care of him during his life, that would be a great deed before God and a very good thing." 16.

Close of Mohammed STORYLINE: A Palestinian toddler has lived all of his life in the yellow-painted children's ward of Israel's Tel Hashomer hospital, where he receives daily care, after a rare genetic disease meant his hands and feet had to be amputated. Born in Gaza, Mohammed al-Farra now gets around in a tiny red wheelchair. He lives at the hospital with his grandfather, Hamouda al-Farra, after his parents abandoned him and the Palestinian government wouldn't pay for his care. "I love the boy and he is my grandson," Hamouda al-Farra said this week at the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, part of the Tel Hashomer complex in the city of Ramat Gan. "I would never abandon this child but this disabled life of his - do not misunderstand me - the child needs a person to care for him." Mohammed's plight is an extreme example of the harsh treatment some families mete out to the disabled - particularly in tribal corners of the Gaza Strip - even as Palestinians make strides in combating such attitudes. It also demonstrates the costly legacy of Gaza's strongly patriarchal culture that prods women into first-cousin marriages and allows polygamy, while rendering mothers powerless over their children's fate. Mohammed spends his days undergoing treatment and learning how to use prosthetic limbs.
