‘I lost my family, my home, my sight’: Israel blinds thousands in Gaza
‘I lost my family, my home, my sight’: Israel blinds thousands in Gaza
In a cramped corridor at Gaza's Eye Hospital, dozens of Palestinian patients stand packed together.
Around 10 are seated on chairs, while most lean against the walls, and some women rest on the floor.
The elderly and the young fill the space, their faces etched with exhaustion, emaciation and grief.
What binds them together is a desperate need for treatment for one or both eyes.
Among them is 11-year-old Maria Rihan.
