00:00:00:00 - 00:00:04:00
I was injured in the city of
Khan Younis.

00:00:04:00 - 00:00:10:00
It was a severe injury of
third-degree burns.

00:00:10:00 - 00:00:13:06
My mother was killed.
My brothers were injured.

00:00:13:06 - 00:00:14:17
My father was also injured.

00:00:14:17 - 00:00:18:25
We came to Doctors Without Borders eight months ago

00:00:18:25 - 00:00:24:03
I was in the intermediate care
unit for 20 days.

00:00:24:03 - 00:00:28:20
Now, I’ve been in the inpatient
department for more than 150 days.

00:00:28:20 - 00:00:32:03
It was one of the hardest days
of my life.

00:00:32:03 - 00:00:34:03
I was exhausted.

00:00:34:03 - 00:00:39:15
I have a problem with my hands.

00:00:39:15 - 00:00:45:05
When the doctors attempted to
give me a skin graft,

00:00:45:05 - 00:00:46:19
the wounds opened up again.

00:00:46:19 - 00:01:00:11
In August 2024, 17-year-old Tayseer Mansour was badly burned in a strike on Khan Younis, Gaza. His mother was killed, and his family injured. He is being treated by MSF in Nasser hospital.

00:01:00:11 - 00:01:04:11
Burn injuries require many things.

00:01:04:11 - 00:01:09:11
It's important to have good
nutrition and a good place to stay.

00:01:09:11 - 00:01:15:11
These things are not available
in Gaza.

00:01:15:11 - 00:01:20:16
There's no healthy food.
There's no meat.

00:01:20:16 - 00:01:22:26
There's no proper nutrition.

00:01:22:26 - 00:01:43:19
The healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed. Very few facilities are still operational and most are overwhelmed. In Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, MSF teams are seeing an increase in the number of patients needing care for burns.

00:01:43:19 - 00:01:47:19
Now, I can't eat on my own.

00:01:47:19 - 00:01:54:09
I can't move my hands.

00:01:54:09 - 00:01:55:19
I can't close my hand all the way.

00:01:55:19 - 00:02:00:10
I can't move them.
I can't open my fingers.

00:02:00:10 - 00:02:02:27
Hopefully, I’ll recover and manage.

00:02:02:27 - 00:02:04:14
The only thing I hope for

00:02:04:14 - 00:02:07:09
is to be able to move my hands again.

00:02:07:09 - 00:02:16:13
Since May 2024, MSF teams in Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, have provided over a thousand surgical operations to burn patients, of which 70 percent of the admitted patients have been children.
