Description :
He escaped imminent death. Caught in the crossfire in his hometown, Ibb, he received five bullets: three in his right leg and two in his left. He was lucky that they rushed him to a nearby hospital for first aid, which saved his life. But, one bullet unfortunately cut through one of his nerves and as a result he is unable to move his right foot forever. He suffers from what is commonly known as “foot drop.” However, at the physical rehabilitation center, he has been receiving treatment which is enabling him to walk again.
