A news report focuses on the suffering of Fadl Yassin, a young man from Gaza who suffers from a partial visual impairment, during the war. The report recounts how he lost his wife and daughter in an Israeli bombardment at the beginning of the war, which caused him psychological trauma leading to temporary blindness. It describes his difficult living conditions in a tent that does not provide protection from the sun or basic necessities, and his struggle to find work.
A news report from the newspaper "Filastin" focuses on the suffering of Fadl Yassin, a 35-year-old young man from the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City, who suffers from a partial visual impairment. The report recounts how the war was not just a displacement for him, but began with the loss of his wife, daughter, and four of his brothers in an Israeli targeting in the early days of the war. The psychological trauma he experienced was so severe that he completely lost his sight for 12 hours before it returned to the partial level of vision he had. The report describes his current living conditions in a tent that does not provide enough shade, which exacerbates his problem with sunlight, and does not provide a mattress, blanket, or kitchen utensils. Before the war, Fadl had completed his university studies in public relations and worked in employment programs for people with disabilities, but now he is looking for the most basic necessities of life. He demands the provision of a job opportunity that suits his health condition to alleviate the burden of isolation and grief.
