Sharif is a 14 years old Syrian refugee from Dera'a governorate. He was injured on May 2013, when a barrel bomb hit his house. His grandparents died, his mother lost her lower leg, and two of his sisters and his brother were injured.
Sharif was transferred straight away to the King Abdallah Hospital in Ramtha, Jordan, where he spent four months and had seven operations. He was then admitted to MSF surgery project in Amman, where he underwent two nerve surgeries. Sharif has shrapnel in the head and still needs more surgery on that as well as on his arms and legs.
Sharif dropped school since he got injured. His father worked in the UAE and is planning to go back there to earn some money: they don’t have any savings left.
