The UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed has pledged to treat 1,000 people at UAE hospitals.

"After the injury, Mohammad is ripped apart from the inside, whether it was his liver, colon, stomach, pancreas, or intestines. Mohammad after the injury is another Mohammad. The other Mohammad was buried," said Jaafari, lying on his hospital bed.

Jaafari's mother, Umm Mohammad, has not left his side. However, she says she never stops worrying about her four children and husband, left in Rafah.

"I cry all day, my heart is broken for them. I pray for God to reunite us," she said.
