Description :
Hayat's family heard that she could be fitted with an artificial leg. Now that her wounds have healed, she makes the two-hour journey to the ICRC-supported physical rehabilitation centre in Sana'a, accompanied by her father, mother and younger sister Aisha. Hayat is already tired by the time she arrives at the centre. There are lots of people and lots of movement. Very stressful for a 3-year-old.
ICRC website, photo gallery of the 3rd December 2015:
“Three-year-old Hayat has just received an artificial lower leg from an ICRC-supported physical rehabilitation centre in Sana'a. An airstrike destroyed her house, killed her sister and crushed her right leg. She had to be carried in to the centre by her father, but when she left she was walking again ... and smiling.”
