DescriptionWe met Marshallah at the Red Cross Center where she was being fitted for an artificial arm. When Marshallah was nine years old, a Russian cluster bomb was dropped in her family's garden. Later, when running from another attack, she stepped on one of the bomblets, destroying her left arm and leg. Her father was killed in the explosion. She is seen here with her two children, Miriam, four years old, and Suliman, who ia three.
