Two people lost their left and right legs and wore a pair of shoes?

He lost his left leg, and he lost his right leg. This is how the Palestinian, who is my brother, was seen by the world. When people look at young people together with strange eyes, they may find that Obeid and Karim, who have only one leg left, are wearing the same pair of shoes. "My left leg, Adrian's right leg. Now we only need to wear a pair of shoes, and we can save half the money, "Karim said with a smile. They have long been used to other people's eyebrows to show their understanding.

Karim and Obeid are about the same age and live in an area near the Israeli border in eastern Gaza. They play together and go to school together. However, what makes them really close friends is the pain caused by the war. 20 1 1 One day at the beginning of the year, two families in this area were bombed by Israel, and Obeid rushed to help transfer the wounded. Just then, a shell came. His eyes, arms and back were injured, but the most painful thing was that he lost his left leg forever. That year, Obeid was less than 20 years old.

Obeid recalled that Karim was the first to visit his friend and stayed with him for a long time, encouraging him and making him feel warm and hopeful. However, five months later, the same tragedy befell Karim. He survived another explosion in Israel, but lost his right leg forever. Karim said: "Adri did the same thing I did for him, which calmed my inner pain." He remembers that in order to entertain himself, Obeid laughed at himself: "You see, now we are both the same."

Similar experiences brought them closer together. "We are used to doing almost everything together. We buy clothes and shoes together, "Karim said. Talking about cooperation in motorcycle riding, he said: "When Adri first asked me to ride a motorcycle with him, I was afraid of falling, but he encouraged me to say,' Let's try'. Thankfully, we really succeeded! "

Losing a leg didn't stop the two brothers from pursuing a better life. They overcame many unimaginable difficulties, led a normal life, got married and had children, and often assisted thousands of disabled people in Gaza in psychological counseling and provided help within their capacity.
