Ahmed Samir Asfour, 23 yrs old, is seen in Khan Younis, Gaza, Palestine, 2012.
Ahmed was hit twice by drones, while he was coming back after the noon prayer with his three cousins, in front of their house, on
Friday January 9, 2009. After one day in hospital, he was transferred to Egypt for 10 months where he underwent 10 operations.
He lost two fingers, his pancreas and has many shrapnel wounds all over his body. His family tried to move him to St. Joseph
Hospital in Jerusalem in coordination with the IDF, but when they arrived at the Erez checkpoint, Ahmed was assumed to have
connections with the Goldstone report, so he was taken to jail. He stayed there for 30 months, while they moved him from
Ashkelon to the military hospital in Be'er Sheva. The family received the first call from Ahmed after 15 months. On April 2012, he
was released and returned to Gaza. Because he lost his pancreas, he has to receive four injections of insulin every day. Ahmed
now is studying Journalism at university.
