He lost his right leg in May 1988, three months before the end of the Iran-Iraq war. He was in the army on duty in Sulimanya as he stepped on an anti-personnel landmine in a mine field. He is unemployed since then and he has seventeen family members living with him.
From the ICRC website:
In 2013, the ICRC provided nearly 33,000 patients with physical rehabilitation materials and services in ten ICRC-supported and one ICRC-operated physical rehabilitation centres in Iraq. These centres continue to be supported with training and raw materials to manufacture equipment such as prostheses, crutches and wheelchairs.
