Storyline: Seven-year-old Mohamed Hijazi, left partially blind after an Israeli explosive remnant in Gaza detonated when he picked it up, is waiting for urgent treatment to save his sight. The boy, from Jabalia in northern Gaza, had survived multiple airstrikes and fled south with his family to escape Israeli bombing. One day in March, he unknowingly touched a suspicious object, which turned out to be unexploded ordnance that Israeli soldiers had left behind, the father said. The boy had one of his eyeballs removed and his other eye is at risk of atrophy without urgent medical care, which is currently unavailable in the Palestinian enclave. Abu Mohamed is desperately trying to get his son out of Gaza for the necessary treatment. He prays that little Mohamed can see the world again, even if only with one eye. Mohamed Hijazi still remains hopeful amid all the difficulties. Shotlist: Gaza Strip - Recent: 1. Various of Mohamed Hijazi from Gaza, partially blinded by Israeli explosive remnant 2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abu Mohamed, Mohamed Hijazi's father (partially overlaid with shot 3-4): "Mohamed was injured in an explosion from a suspicious object left by the occupation. It happened on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. On that Tuesday morning, we heard an explosion. We went down and found that Mohamed was playing with a suspicious object. As a seven-year-old child, of course, he didn't know it was a bomb. He thought it was a toy, and it exploded on him. We found Mohamed covered in blood. He underwent emergency surgery. As a result, his right eye was removed. As for the left eye, the doctor said it would need a miracle to be saved. He told me if Mohamed didn't travel abroad very soon, he might lose his eye."

SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abu Mohamed, Mohamed Hijazi's father (starting with shot 5/partially overlaid with shot 7): "With the crossings being closed, the doctor said it's possible that Mohamed might develop atrophy in his other eye. And the longer we wait, the longer the war drags on and the ceasefire doesn't happen and the crossings remain closed, Mohamed could lose his eye. As a father, it's extremely painful for me to see Mohamed lose both of his eyes, and no longer be able to live his life. It is painful to see the other kids playing, his cousins going out to play, but without Mohamed among them. This is very hard for me." [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] 7.

SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abu Mohamed, Mohamed Hijazi's father: "Mohamed's dream is to continue his education. He would always tell me, 'I want to become an engineer.' Recently, even after his injury, he would tell me, 'I want to see again and become an engineer, so I can rebuild after the destruction.'" 10.
