Three years of waiting.. Qusay seeks a chance to escape the pain

Young Qusay al-Qara from Khan Younis suffers from a 70% curvature of the spine, up from 40%, due to displacement and war. A surgery scheduled for October 28, 2023 was canceled by the war. He lives in a tent, relies on ineffective painkillers, and owes 7,000 shekels for them. He seeks travel abroad for treatment despite the operation's risks.

Young Qusay al-Qara from Khan Younis suffers from a spinal curvature that worsened from 40% to 70% over three years of war and forced displacement. A surgery was scheduled for October 28, 2023, but the war prevented it. He lives in a tent unsuitable for his health condition and relies on painkillers that no longer work. He owes 7,000 shekels for the painkillers after his brothers covered his treatment before the war. The required surgery is complex, lasting at least 12 hours, with success chances no more than 50%, but he prefers the risk over continued pain. Israeli restrictions on patient travel prevent him from seeking treatment abroad.
