ATTENTION EDITORS - VISUAL COVERAGE OF SCENES OF INJURY
A twelve-year-old Syrian boy has his eyes checked by Dr. Yosef Pikel at Ziv Medical Center in Safed, northern Israel September 10, 2014. A hospital spokesperson said the boy was severely wounded, losing the sight in both eyes and suffering injuries to his arm and leg, when a shell exploded near his home in the outskirts of Damascus. After undergoing basic medical treatment in Lebanon, his brother took him by donkey across the border to an Israeli military post, where soldiers took him to hospital in Safed. The spokesperson said the boy was one of 10 Syrians being treated at the hospital, and one of several hundred since February 2013.
