In his short life, Palestinian toddler Mohammed al-Farra has known just one home: the yellow-painted children's ward in Israel's Tel Hashomer hospital.
Born in Gaza with a rare genetic disease, Mohammed's hands and feet were amputated because of complications from his condition, and the 3 1/2-year-old carts about in a tiny red wheelchair. His parents abandoned him, and the Palestinian government won't pay for his care, so he lives at the hospital with his grandfather.
"There's no care for this child in Gaza, there's no home in Gaza where he can live," said the grandfather, Hamouda al-Farra.
"He can't open anything by himself, he can't eat or take down his pants. His life is zero without help," he said at the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, part of the Tel Hashomer complex in the Israeli city of Ramat Gan.
....
Dr. Raz Somech, the senior physician in the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer's pediatric immunology department, attributes Mohammed's genetic disorder to the several generations of cousin marriages in his family - including his parents.

Dr. Somech is also known for being the doctor who treated the Toddler Muhammad Abu Mustafa, a child with rare genetic disease in his immune system, born in Gaza and treated in Israel. The donor was an Israeli man who lost his son in an IDF operation. the movie "precious life" tells that story.
Amazing to see this angelic doctor saving children from the strip, giving them their lives again, without any inner conflicts or questions at all. Blessed be Raz Somech!
