Younis Jumaa laid still on the hospital bed at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis on Wednesday, a shell of his former self after nearly nine months of war. His skin was stretched taut over his growing bones. An IV drip hung beside the bed of the nine-year-old who, on that day, weighed just 17 pounds.
"It's as if he's paralyzed," said his mother, Ghanima Jumaa.
