In the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of eastern Gaza City, 10-year-old Sarah al-Barsh is creating a miracle of life. An air strike took away both her arms and her father, but this resilient girl has learned how to live using her feet.

Today, Sara can eat, drink, write, study, and even take care of herself, all with her feet. Though she lost her arms, she never lost hope for life. Now, her greatest wish is to receive prosthetic arms as soon as possible and grow up to become a prosthetist to help more children who share her fate.
